Facility Inspections
On top of earning a strong overall rating, this nursing home fared even better in our inspections category which is associated with the facility's recent government inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that area, which is one of our best scores. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category generally have few severe deficiencies. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility truly excelled in the area of short-term care, where it received a grade of A-. Not many facilities performed more favorably in this category. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most critical for those needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We were not able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we gave them one of our more favorable scores in our long-term care category as well, with a B. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The final area we graded is nursing. This nursing home was given a strong nursing rating this year, with a B-. Even though this isn't quite as good as a few of its other scores, this is still a respectable grade in that area. In calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the number of hours nurses commit to residents and the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, we also factored some quality-based metrics into our nursing scores. This facility was subpar in two of the major metrics we look at, with below average scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are usually measures of the quality of nursing care available.
