Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a strong nursing home is that it earned an impressive inspection grade. In fact, inspections is its best category grade. In this area, we gave this facility a grade of A. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's above average category scores came in the category of long-term care. We gave them one of our stronger grades in that category, with a grade of B+. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. This nursing home's vaccination records lagged a bit behind a few of the other datapoints in this category, such as its nursing hours data. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to just 69.863014 percent of its residents. We would love to see some improvement herein this statistic in the future. Fortunately, this place excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Although it had 1.86 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was better than the majority of nursing homes since it had more complex patients.

This is more nursing care than most nursing homes provide. Lastly, we also looked at nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as good measures of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we scored is short-term care, in which this nursing home was given a B-. This actually was this facility's weakest category. This is still a middle of the pack score. Short-term care ratings are important for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, we found that this nursing home provided respectable levels of physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 44.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
