Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given a favorable short-term care score as well. We awarded it one of our better grades in that category with a grade of B+. In computing our short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. We weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, this nursing home also was awarded favorable long-term care grades in our assessment. In fact, we awarded it one of our stronger scores in that area, with a score of B+. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.58678 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is too frequently a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
The final category we scored was nursing, in which this nursing home received a grade of B. This facility did not turn out to have any weak links. Our nursing grade looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these areas as good indicators of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
