Facility Inspections
On top of earning a great overall rating, this nursing home performed even better in our inspections category which is based on the facility's recent inspections. We gave it an A for this category, which is one of our highest scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
Among its many impressive scores, this facility received an excellent nursing rating. We gave it a grade of B+ in that area. Nursing ratings are largely associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of turning patients more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded an impressive long-term care score. In fact, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this area. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.5614 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a life threatening health condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the final area, we awarded this nursing home a D in the area of short-term care. This was the nursing home's worst category rating. However, we would not over-emphasize one poor area. With our short-term care category, we try to craft a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
