Facility Inspections
In addition to earning a strong overall grade, this nursing home fared even better in our inspections category which is based on the nursing home's recent government inspections. In fact, we gave it a grade of A for this category, which is one of our best scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. This place received 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In fact, nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an B. Nursing ratings are largely associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a favorable short-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B in this area. In our short-term care score, we endeavor to create a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we rated is long-term care, which was this facility's least impressive category. We gave this facility a D in that area. Naturally, this score hurt the facility's overall profile to some degree. For residents looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.52494 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is more than most nursing homes. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
