Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this facility also received top notch inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our best grades in this area, with a grade of A. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. We were not able to track down deficiency data for this nursing home. Without having the deficiency related data for this facility, it ended up being a challenge to evaluate the place in this category.

Among this facility's other strengths is its elite nursing grade. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A-. Nursing ratings are largely tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0 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.

The third category we analyzed is short-term care. This facility was awarded a favorable short-term care score, with a grade of B+ in this area. In computing our short-term care scores, we look at a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This category is considered to be a solid assessment of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed is long-term care, is this facility's worst category. We gave this facility a grade of D in this category. This really is one of the couple of weak links of a quality profile. Nursing homes that don't score well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 88.63637 percent of its residents, which is well below average. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
