Nurse Quality
On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. When calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we look at the amount of time nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also excelled in inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that area, which is one of our best scores. This is one of the few facilities with an overall score in this range which received multiple category grades this high. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that 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. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality
This facilities next most favorable category is long-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is essentially a middle of the pack score in this area. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 99.23077 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed was short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this area. In our short-term care assessment, we try to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
