Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place is a strong nursing home is that it received a very impressive inspection rating. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In this area, we gave this facility a grade of A. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area tend to have very few severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility received a favorable short-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our higher scores in that area with a grade of B+. Our short-term care scores are thought to be more important for individuals needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was this facility's poorest area. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still awarded it a decent grade of B- for long-term care. Our long-term care ratings are more important for residents in need of more conventional assistance related to personal care. One of the criteria we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. We were a bit alarmed this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to just 82.7451 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
