Facility Inspections
In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a strong long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it an above average score of B+ in this area. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. Once we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 97.587135 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly ailment for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we graded was nursing. We awarded this facility a decent score in this area, with a B-. Even though this is not as favorable as many of this facility's other scores, it is nevertheless not the end of the world. Nursing ratings are largely associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at.
