This nursing home's overall grade was propped up by a strong long-term care rating. We awarded them one of our higher grades in that area, with a B+. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

This facility's inspection grade exceeded its overall score as well. We awarded them one of our better grades in that category, with a B. This is a better score than its overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

We also awarded this facility a favorable grade in nursing. This facility earned a grade of B in this category, which is one of our better grades. In computing our nursing ratings, we weigh both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The last area we analyzed was short-term care. For this category, we awarded this facility a C. Our short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. We weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
