Inspection scores are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B+. Our nursing rating assesses the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.2 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 nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Turning to our third area, this nursing home also earned a grade of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is an above average score in this area. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.64286 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a life or death ailment for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The final category we analyzed is short-term care, where this nursing home received a B-. While this is its lowest category score, this is still not a major area of concern. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
