Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades are based on several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's above average category grades came in the category of long-term care. We gave them one of our better grades in that category, with a grade of B+. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 57.356075 percent of its residents for pneumonia. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. Our nursing grade looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a low total compared to most other nursing homes. Lastly, nursing scores also consider quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed is short-term care. For that category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
