Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. It doesn't look like we have information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
On the list of its many elite grades, this nursing home was awarded a top-shelf short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A in this area. In computing our short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our better scores in our long-term care category as well, with a grade of B+. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.46524 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is far higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The last area we rated is nursing. This facility was given a favorable nursing grade this year, with a B-. While this was not as dominant as many of its other scores, this is still a respectable score for that area. When determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are seeing residents as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This facility averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures. While this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did well in this statistic. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of moving a patient even once per day.
