Facility Inspections
On top of earning a great overall rating, this nursing home fared even better in our inspections category which is based on the nursing home's recent inspections. We gave it a grade of A+ for this category, which is one of our highest scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk 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
This facility performed well in our long-term care category. In fact, we gave it a score of A- for that category, which happens to be one of our better grades. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.570816 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its third highest category score in the category of short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this category, which is an acceptable score. In the area of short-term care, we strive to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. It does not appear that this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The final area we scored is nursing. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this area, which is a very poor grade. You shouldn't necessarily disqualify a nursing home as a result of a single concerning score though. When determining our nursing scores, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this place's nurse staffing levels were significantly below average. Unfortunately, this place also did not fare as well as we had hoped in some of the quality measures we looked at in this category.
