Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place is a quality facility is that it received a very impressive inspection grade. In fact, inspections is its best category grade. In this category, we gave this facility an A+. Inspection scores weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home fared well in our long-term care category. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- for that area, which turns out to be one of our better grades. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 86.8644 percent of its patients. This is somewhat lower than we anticipated but still a respectable percentage. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at was short-term care, where this facility was given a B- in this category. Our short-term care scores are meaningful for individuals looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This includes a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this place. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 7.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
Nurse Quality
The last category we scored is nursing, which turned out to be this nursing home's weakest area. We gave it a lowly F for this area, which is clearly a bit concerning. Nursing ratings are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This facility offered a meager 0.1 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Although this facility's nursing hours were below average, it surprised us in a few of the qualitative statistics in this category. In particular, we were pleased to see that its residents appear to be sustaining fewer pressure ulcers than most nursing homes.
