Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a grade of A- for our long-term care grade. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a dangerous health condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

This includes a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below average.
Nurse Quality
This facility's worst category was nursing, which is the final category we assessed. For this category, we gave this facility a D. Our nursing grade is based on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Although this facility's nursing hours were below average, it actually surprised us in some of the qualitative data points in this category. In particular, we were pleased to find that its patients appear to be suffering fewer pressure ulcers than most nursing homes.
