Facility Inspections
A-
Historical
While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Nurse Quality
B
Historical
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home an B. In calculating a facility's nursing rating, we consider the number of hours nurses are caring for patients and the level of skill of those nurses. With 4.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home surpassed the overwhelming majority of facilities. Finally, this facility also performed well in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In terms of the number of its residents suffering falls leading to major injury, this facility performed as well as any facility in Illinois.

Short-term Care Quality
B
Historical
The next area we looked at was short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B. It actually performed better than most facilities in this category. Short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, this nursing home offers both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities offer both. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This place outperformed the majority of facilities in the country in this area with 51 percent of its patients returning home. This is a higher rate than most nursing homes.
Long-term Care Quality
F
Historical
The final area we rated was long-term care. We gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is a bottom of the barrel score. This is clearly a major disappointment. For residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. Based on its grade in this category, it is surprising to discover that this nursing home had favorable subcategory scores in both nursing hours and its vaccination records. Indeed, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.59514 percent of its residents. This percentage is actually better than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.14 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
