Facility Inspections
To go along with its favorable overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A- for the area of inspections. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a score of A- for our long-term care score. For residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 91.935486 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be a few points below what we were hoping for but still a respectable percentage. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. There are a host of datapoints within this area. Many of the criteria are tied to nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a low total compared with most other nursing homes. Lastly, nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
Our final area is short-term care, where we awarded this nursing home a B- in that area. Short-term care grades are based on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.
