Facility Inspections
In addition to earning a strong overall score, this nursing home performed even better in our inspections category which is based on the nursing home's recent inspections. We gave it a grade of A- for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection grades 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. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home fared well in our short-term care category. In fact, we gave it a score of A- for that category, which turns out to be one of our most dominant grades. Our short-term care grades are presumably most critical for patients needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. When computing our nursing grades, we assess both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving a patient even once per day.
Long-term Care Quality
Our final category is long-term care, where we awarded this nursing home a C in this category. Long-term care ratings are based on a facility's volume of care. This means a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home administered the vaccine to a relatively low 88.70968 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
