To pair with a strong overall grade, we gave this place a grade of A+ for our inspection category. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Unfortunately, we were not able to find deficiency data for this facility. Without having complete deficiency related data for this nursing home, it ended up being challenging to fully assess it in the inspections category.

Another quality feature for this nursing home is that it was awarded a favorable long-term care grade. Indeed, this turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 93.61702 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is somewhat less than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. There are a host of factors included in this grade. Most of the subcategories are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Turning to our next area, this nursing home was awarded a respectable short-term care grade. Even though this wasn't as impressive as several of its other grades, this is truly not a major area of concern. Our short-term care grades are crucial for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home 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. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
