Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall score, we awarded this facility an A for the area of inspections. Inspection grades are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that we have information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Short-term Care Quality
Another quality feature for this facility is that it was given an impressive short-term care grade. In fact, this turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B+. Short-term care ratings are important for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded an impressive long-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this category. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 43.94619 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is a few points lower than we anticipated but still a decent figure. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
The next area we assessed is nursing. This nursing home was awarded a grade of C for the category. The nursing score includes a number of data points. The most important one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below average. Lastly, we also factored a few quality measures into our nursing scores. This nursing home was subpar in two of the major metrics we look at, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are generally decent measures of the quality of nursing care offered.
