Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially would like to emphasize its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave it an A in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Adding to this facility's list of achievements, it also received a very favorable long-term care score. We awarded them a strong strong of A in this category. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are well cared for. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Our nursing rating analyzes a handful of datapoints, but the most important consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provided just 0.8 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, nursing ratings also consider quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its patients.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at is short-term care. This facility was given a C for this category. Short-term care grades are vital for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below average.
