Facility Inspections
Grade: A-plus
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area usually have very few severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, it does not appear that we were able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Grade: A
This facility also was given a high-end short-term care grade. In fact, this ended up being this facility's second strongest category score. In that area, we awarded this facility a score of A. Short-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

This nursing home vaccinated 99.77376 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
Grade: C
The final category we assessed is nursing. In this category, we awarded this facility a decent grade of C. This actually proved to be this nursing home's worst category. The nursing grade weighs quite a few factors, but the primary consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below average. Finally, our nursing scores also factor in some quality-focused measures. We especially look at the percentage of patients who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these data points are indicators of the quality of nursing care, since superior care can reduce these problems.
