To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area usually have very few severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not something to panic about.

This facility received impressive grades in the area of short-term care as well. Consequently, it received one of our highest grades in that area with a area of A-. In the category of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. There are a variety of factors within this category. Many of these subcategories relate to nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Turning to the fourth area, we gave this facility a D for long-term care. This was the nursing home's least impressive category score. Sadly, this category pulled down the facility's overall profile a bit. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 94.214874 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
