Facility Inspections
To go along with its favorable overall score, we gave this place an A+ for our inspections rating. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded a strong long-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that area with a score of B+. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are kept in good health. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 96.68508 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the senior population. Finally, this nursing home 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 figure.

Short-term Care Quality
The third category we assessed was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a C in this category. Our short-term care ratings are arguably most meaningful for patients needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below average.
Nurse Quality
The final area we analyzed is nursing, turned out to be this nursing home's worst area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this area. This was one of the few weak points on a very solid report card. The nursing grade considers numerous data points. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This facility offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. While this facility's nursing hours are below average, it surprised us in a few of the qualitative metrics in this category. In particular, we were pleased to see that its residents are experiencing fewer pressure ulcers than the national average.
