Facility Inspections
This facility received an inspection grade which is better than its overall grade. Inspection ratings are associated with a facility's recent government inspections. We awarded this facility a very solid grade of B+ in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this facility a grade of B in our long-term care category. This is one of our more favorable grades. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 97.86477 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Another reason we rated this facility so highly is that it received an A+ nursing score. This is as good as it gets in this area. The nursing grade weighs many components, however, the primary one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Our next category is short-term care, where we gave this nursing home a grade of C in that category. Our short-term care ratings are vital for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The final metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who returned home from the facility. We found that just 5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
