Facility Inspections
To pair with its favorable overall performance, we awarded this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we were able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. We would like to have more data for this nursing home. Without having access to the deficiency related data, it is a challenge to evaluate this nursing home in the area of inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
An additional strong feature for this facility is that it received an above average short-term care grade. Indeed, this turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this facility a B+. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality
Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. When calculating our nursing scores, we factor in both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of moving a resident at least once a day.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed is long-term care, which ended up being this facility's worst area. We gave this nursing home a D in that category. Sadly, this grade hurt the facility's overall profile a bit. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
