Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received high marks in the area of long-term care, with an elite grade of A- in this category. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 95.522385 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a deadly health condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second worse score was short-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that area. This is a relatively poor score. Short-term care ratings are critical for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below average.
Nurse Quality
The last category we scored was nursing, which was this nursing home's least impressive area. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this category, which is certainly very disappointing. When determining our nursing ratings, we assess both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This statistic is far below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
