Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively minor. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Adding to this facility's list of achievements, it also was given a very favorable long-term care score. We gave them an elite strong of A in this category. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 99.04762 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this place 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
Turning to the next category, this nursing home also received a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this area. Short-term care grades are often used to grade a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. We were not able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we graded was nursing, turned out to be this facility's worst area. We awarded this nursing home a D in that area. This really is one of the couple of weak links of a quality profile. We analyzed the licensure of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses worked with residents, in determining our score in this category. This place provided only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Unfortunately, this nursing home also didn't perform as well as we had hoped in some of the quality measures we looked at for this category.
