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 take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports.

We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home really excelled in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a score of A-. Only a select group of facilities performed more favorably in this area. With our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to craft a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. We weighed the skill-level of nurses at the facility, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses spent with patients, in calculating our grade in this area. This particular nursing home 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 facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we rated was long-term care. We awarded this facility one of our higher scores in that area, with a grade of B. This facility ended up being strong in each category we looked at. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a life threatening illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
