Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned an A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also excelled in the category of nursing, where it received an B+. Nursing grades are mostly tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a middle of the pack score in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In our short-term care grade, we try to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was long-term care. This nursing home received a grade of C in the area. Our long-term care grades are based on a facility's quantity of nursing care. This includes a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an above average datapoint. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
