Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's above average category scores came in the area of long-term care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that category, with a score of B+. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. Once we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 98.2709 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia can be a life threatening ailment for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home is also strong in the category of short-term care, where it was awarded a grade of B. It performed better than most facilities in this area. In calculating these short-term care grades, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to devise a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. We weren't able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final metric we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we scored was nursing, which proved to be this facility's worst area. It received an F in this category, which is obviously somewhat disappointing. In calculating our nursing grades, we look at both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
