Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially want to point out its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave it an A in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, this nursing home also was given favorable long-term care scores this year. In fact, we awarded it one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a grade of B+. For patients looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 91.32791 percent of its patients. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Our nursing grade includes a number of datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we graded is short-term care, where this facility was awarded a grade of B-. While this proved to be its least impressive category grade, this is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
