Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Contributing to its dominant profile, this facility also excelled in our long-term care category. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- for that category. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 97.526505 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. Finally, we looked at the facility's number of hospitalizations. We found that this facility had 2.71 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.

Short-term Care Quality
In the last category, this nursing home also was given an excellent short-term care grade, with a grade of B+. This finished off a very favorable report card. In the area of short-term care, we strive to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, we found that this nursing home provided respectable levels of physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the facility.
