Facility Inspections
To pair with its favorable overall score, we gave this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we were able to find deficiency data for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a grade of A- for our short-term care score. Our short-term care grade is often used to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This nursing home provided more physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. This is what we like to find when assessing a nursing home in this category. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home is also strong in the category of long-term care, where it was awarded a score of B+. It performed better than most facilities in this area. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to very favorable nursing hour statistics, this nursing home's vaccination statistics is first-rate as well. In fact, this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This combination proved to be effective as this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. While it had 2.77 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was better than the majority of nursing homes due to it having some more complicated patients.

The final category we graded is nursing. In this category, we awarded this facility a decent grade of B-. This was this facility's worst area. Our nursing category assesses a handful of data points, many of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides an impressive 5.2 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a greater quantity of nursing than what is offered by most places. Finally, we also factored a few quality-based metrics into our nursing ratings. This facility was relatively weak in two of the areas we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' major falls and pressure ulcers.
