Facility Inspections
This facility received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially would like to emphasize its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This nursing home was hit with 10 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home an B+. Nursing scores are tied to nurse staffing levels. This facility provided 0.3 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

This means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

The last category we graded was long-term care. This nursing home was awarded a very good long-term care grade this year, with a B. This nursing home really didn't have any weak spots. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we assessed the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 80.606064 percent of its residents for pneumonia. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
