Facility Inspections
Grade: A
On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this facility excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A. Few nursing homes fared better in this category. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Grade: B-plus
Additionally, this facility also was awarded favorable short-term care grades in our assessment. In fact, we gave it one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a score of B+. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Grade: B
The third area we assessed was long-term care. This nursing home was awarded an above average long-term care grade, with a B in this category. For patients looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. One of the criteria we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 82.06896 percent of its residents. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
Grade: D
The last area we looked at is nursing. We awarded this facility a D for our nursing category, making this its weakest category grade. Our nursing rating assesses several factors, however, the primary one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home offered just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Unfortunately, this nursing home also did not perform as well as we had hoped in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at for this category.
