Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this place also earned top notch government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better grades in this category, with an A+. Inspection scores are based on several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this area typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home is also strong in the category of long-term care, where it was awarded a score of B+. It performed better than most nursing homes in this category. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is a good sign for resident care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. On top of providing very favorable levels of nursing care and other staffing, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This statistic is also much higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Although it had 4.71 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was better than most nursing homes due to it having some more complicated patients.

This facility received its next best category score in the category of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this category, which is a decent score. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This place outperformed the majority of facilities in the nation in this area with 49.5 percent of its residents returning home. This is a better rate than most facilities.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's worst area is nursing, which is the last category we assessed. For this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. The nursing score weighs several components, however, the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. Quantity of care does not appear to be the issue here, as this nursing home boasts an above average 6.6 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Also, roughly an hour of those were provided by registered nurses. Registered nurses are highly trained nurses. Lastly, we turn to some quality-focused statistics in rounding out our nursing scores. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as reliable measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
