To pair with its strong overall performance, we gave this nursing home an A+ for the area of inspections. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Unfortunately, it does not appear that we were able to find deficiency data for this nursing home. Without having access to deficiency data for this facility, it is a challenge to really assess it in the area of inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so favorably is that it was awarded a favorable short-term care score. In fact, short-term care is its second highest category score. In that area, we gave this facility a score of A-.

This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls.

Long-term Care Quality
The last area we scored was long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D for our long-term care category, rendering this the facility's weakest category. For patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.05 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
