Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category generally have few severe deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
Among this facility's other achievements is its elite short-term care grade. We gave them one of our best scores in that area, with a grade of A-. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more important for people needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best category is long-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this area. This is essentially a middle of the road score in this category. In crafting our long-term care grades, we look at the facility's personal care services. One of the datapoints we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.5098 percent of its residents. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
The final area we looked at was nursing, in which this facility was awarded a B-. Even though this ended up being its worst category rating, this is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. We scrutinized the levels of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the number of hours those nurses were with residents, in computing our score in this area. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care offered.
