Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a great overall rating, this nursing home performed even better in the area of inspections which is based on the facility's recent inspections. We awarded it an A+ for this category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically have very few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
An additional quality feature for this facility is that it was awarded an above average short-term care grade. In fact, this turned out to be its second best category score. In this area, we awarded this facility a B+. Our short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we graded is long-term care, is this nursing home's worst area. We gave this nursing home a D in this category. This was one of the couple of weak links in an otherwise strong profile. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 94.88636 percent of its residents, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
