Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a strong overall rating, this facility performed even better in the area of inspections which is associated with the nursing home's recent government inspections. In fact, we gave it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest grades. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple relatively minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B+ for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. Nursing ratings are mostly associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given a favorable short-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our better grades in that category with a score of B+. In crafting 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. Our goal is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was long-term care. In this category, we gave this nursing home a strong grade of B. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 94.117645 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is often a deadly ailment for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home does not take any chances. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
