Facility Inspections
In addition to earning a great overall rating, this nursing home fared even better in our inspections category which is associated with the nursing home's recent government inspections. We awarded it an A+ for this category, which is one of our highest grades. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Contributing to its profile, this facility also received a grade of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is an above average score in this area. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 99.28316 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly illness for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Lastly, we looked at the nursing home's number of hospitalizations. Here we found that this facility had 2.59 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. Our nursing grade consists of many datapoints, many of which are tied to nursing hours. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these statistics as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at was short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a D for the area of short-term care, rendering this the nursing home's weakest category. With our short-term care grade, we try to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. It looks like this place was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we considered. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 43.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
