Facility Inspections
Grade: A-minus
To go along with its decent overall score, we awarded this facility an A- for our inspections rating. This grade is far better than the facility's overall grade. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically have very few severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Nurse Quality
Grade: B
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we awarded this facility an B. When calculating our nursing scores, we look at both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 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 nursing home 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 typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality
Grade: B
This facility also was given a strong long-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a B in this category, which is one of our better. When facilities receive this kind of score in long-term care it is typically a good sign for resident care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
Grade: C
The last category we looked at was short-term care. For this category, we awarded this nursing home a C. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
