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 look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. It doesn't appear that we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Without complete deficiency data for this facility, it ended up being a challenge to really evaluate the place in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home performed well in our short-term care category. As a result, we awarded it a score of A for that category, which is one of our most dominant grades. Short-term care ratings are meaningful for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. This means a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. We assessed the qualifications of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses spent with residents, in calculating our score in this category. This place provides only 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below the national average. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at was nursing, is this facility's worst area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. This really is one of just a few weak links in an otherwise strong report card. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this place also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
