Facility Inspections
Grade: A-plus
One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: A-minus
We also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was awarded a high-end grade of A- in our long-term care area. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are kept in good health. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 95.783134 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Grade: A-minus
To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. There are several datapoints within this area. Many of these subcategories relate to nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Grade: B
The last area we looked at is short-term care. We awarded this nursing home one of our higher scores in that area, with a B. Although this isn't as high as a few of this facility's other scores, it is still a fine grade. Our short-term care grades are likely most critical for people in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
