Facility Inspections
With an overall grade this high, it should come as no surprise that this facility performed well in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Adding to its superb profile, this facility also performed well in our long-term care area. In fact, it received a score of A- for that area. For patients in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 70.06508 percent of its residents. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, at least this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. The nursing grade weighs a handful of datapoints, however, the primary consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility 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
The next category we looked at ended up being this nursing home's weakest category. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still awarded it a respectable grade of B- for short-term care. Short-term care scores are vital for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 4.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.
