Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place is a strong facility is that it earned a very impressive inspection score. Inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In that area, we gave it a grade of A+. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Among the reasons we graded this nursing home so favorably is that it was given a strong long-term care grade. In fact, long-term care is its second highest category score. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 99.22481 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
The third category we looked at is short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this nursing home provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.
Nurse Quality
The next area we looked at was nursing. For that category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. The nursing grade consists of a handful of components, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below average. Finally, we also baked some quality-based metrics into our nursing scores. This place was relatively weak in a few of the major areas we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are often decent measures of the quality of nursing care available.
