Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category generally have few severe deficiencies. While this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose 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
Contributing to its profile, this facility also earned a score of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this category. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 87.39838 percent of its residents, which is a bit below what we expected. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. There are many criteria included in this grade. Most of the factors are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed is short-term care, in which this nursing home received a grade of B-. Although this proved to be its least impressive category rating, this is nevertheless a middle of the pack score. Our short-term care grades are likely most important for folks in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
