Facility Inspections
Grade: A-plus
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: A-plus
This nursing home also was given an A+ long-term care grade, rendering it one of the few nursing homes to be awarded multiple A+ category grades. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are kept in good health. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 93.11926 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is a bit less than we anticipated but still a respectable percentage. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
Grade: A-minus
This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. In computing a facility's nursing score, we look at the quantity of hours nurses are seeing residents as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Grade: A-minus
Moving on to the next category, this facility also performed admirably in the short-term care category. We awarded it a grade of A- for this category. This finalized a straight A report card. In our short-term care assessment, we try to create a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
