Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this nursing home also received excellent inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our best grades in that category, with a grade of A. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category generally have very few severe deficiencies. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home an A-. Our nursing score is largely tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place provides an incredible 8.1 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Out of this total, many of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which is one of the more highly trained levels of nurses. On top of offering high levels of nursing care, this facility also performed well in several of the quality measures we looked at. In terms of the percentage of its patients suffering falls leading to major injury, this place performed as well as any facility the state.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the next area, this facility also earned a grade of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this category. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the datapoints we considered on top of this nursing home's above average nursing hours was vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for seniors. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Although it had 1.74 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was better than the majority of nursing homes due to it having some more complicated patients.

In the area of short-term care, we try to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation.
