On top of earning a great overall rating, this nursing home performed even better in our inspections category which is associated with the facility's recent government inspections. In fact, we gave it an A for this category, which is one of our highest scores. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

This nursing home performed well in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Nursing scores are primarily tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a system of moving patients more often.

In addition, this nursing home also received favorable short-term care grades this year. Indeed, we awarded it one of our better grades in that area, with a score of B+. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most important for folks in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last item we considered in this area is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

The final area we looked at is long-term care. This facility received a strong long-term care rating this year, with a grade of B-. Although this wasn't quite as good as many of its other category grades, this is still a decent score in that area. In determining our long-term care scores, we scrutinize the personal care received by the facility's patients. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 96.4539 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
