Facility Inspections
On top of being a first rate nursing home overall, this nursing home excelled in our inspections category, where it earned a grade of A+. Few nursing homes performed this well in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor dings aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Among its many high-end scores, this nursing home was awarded a strong short-term care score. In fact, we awarded it a score of A- in that category. In determining our short-term care scores, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This grade is more often than not a fair assessment of the facility's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned 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+. Our nursing grade assesses several factors, but the main one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was long-term care. This nursing home was given a strong nursing rating in our assessment, with a B. While this isn't nearly as strong as several of its other category grades, this is still one of our stronger scores for that category. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is far higher than most nursing homes. 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 one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
