Facility Inspections
To pair with a strong overall score, we gave this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite insignificant. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was given impressive marks in the area of long-term care as well. In fact, we awarded it one of our most superb grades in that category with a score of A. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are kept in good health. On top of considering the elite quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff at this facility, we also were happy with the facility's vaccination statistics. For example, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.24 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home.

Nurse Quality
This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. Our nursing rating assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This place provides an incredible 4.1 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is far more care than what is provided by most nursing homes. Finally, this place also performed well in several of the quality measures we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than the national average. This is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided with better nursing care and having a policy of regularly turning residents to avoid bed sores.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we scored is nursing, is this facility's least impressive area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that category. This was one of the couple of dings on a very solid report card. In crafting our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 43.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
