Facility Inspections
Grade: A-plus
To pair with its favorable overall performance, we awarded this place an A+ for the area of inspections. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category typically dodged the more 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: A-minus
This facility performed well in the area of long-term care. In fact, we awarded it a score of A- for that category, which turns out to be one of our most dominant grades. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 93.05136 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat less than we were hoping for but still a decent figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Grade: C
The next category we looked at was short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Short-term care grades are vital for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
Grade: F
The final category we assessed is nursing, which ended up being this facility's weakest area. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is obviously somewhat disappointing. Our nursing rating considers a variety of factors. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This statistic is far below average. While this nursing home's nursing hours are below average, it surprised us in a few of the qualitative areas in this category. In particular, we were pleased to find that its residents appear to be experiencing fewer pressure ulcers than most nursing homes.
