Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place turned out to be a great nursing home is that it earned an A+ in our inspections category. This is just about as good as it gets in this very important area. Inspection ratings are based on datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means the government inspectors did not consider 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.
Long-term Care Quality
Among the reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it was given a very impressive long-term care grade. In fact, long-term care is its second highest category score. In that area, we awarded this facility a score of A-. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was short-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a B- in this category. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's weakest area was nursing, which is the last area we looked at. For this category, we awarded this nursing home a D. We would like to to draw your attention to this possible weakness, but you shouldn't focus exclusively on a single bad area either. When computing our nursing ratings, we weigh both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Unfortunately, this nursing home also didn't fare as well as we had hoped in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed for this category.
