Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best scores in this area with a grade of A. Our inspection ratings are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality

Nursing ratings are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. This place performed admirably in this metric.
Long-term Care Quality
The next highest area we gave this nursing home in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a C. Our long-term care ratings are more meaningful for people requiring more traditional services related to activities of daily living. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 97.62533 percent of its patients. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility had 2.88 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. While this figure is quite a bit higher than the national average, this statistic can be skewed for some facilities based on the medical complexity of residents.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was short-term care. This nursing home was awarded a C for this category. Our short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The final measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. This place was respectable in this area with 47.7 percent of its residents returning home.
