Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home also earned first-rate government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our best grades in this category, with an A. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded a favorable long-term care score as well. We gave it one of our higher grades in that category with a score of B+. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.736145 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a life threatening condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
The third area we analyzed is short-term care. This facility was awarded a very positive short-term care score, with a grade of B+ in this category. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more critical for residents requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we scored was this facility's worst category. However, even in its worst category we still awarded it an acceptable grade of B- for our nursing category. The nursing rating analyzes quite a few factors, many of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
