Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this turned out to be a strong facility is that it received a very impressive inspection score. Inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Our inspection grades are tied to several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this area have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a score of A- for our short-term care grade. With our short-term care category, we try to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 7.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After considering the amount of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 91.50944 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
The next category we graded is nursing. We awarded this facility a decent grade in this category, with a B-. While this was not as strong as some of its other grades, it is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. Our nursing score is primarily associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.
