Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS did not deem 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.

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A in our nursing category. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning the page to our third area, we gave this facility a score of A- for its long-term care score. This is a dominant score. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 97.91667 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a life or death condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
In the final category, this facility also was given a first-rate short-term care score, with a B+. This completed a very strong report card. Short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
