Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this facility also earned top notch inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in this category, with an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Nurse Quality
This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Our nursing category is based on a handful of subcategories, most of which are associated with levels of 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 place 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 typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded a favorable short-term care score. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this category. Short-term care grades are vital for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed was long-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in that category. This is not a bad grade in this area. With our long-term care category, we weigh the volume of care provided by a nursing home, along with a series of qualitative statistics. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. We were a bit alarmed this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 79.10448 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
