Facility Inspections
On top of having a decent overall grade, we also would like to point out that this facility earned favorable government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category, with a grade of B. This is a notably better score than the nursing home's overall score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. While this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
Building on this nursing home's list of strengths, it also earned an excellent nursing score. We awarded them an impressive grade of B- in this category. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third most favorable category is long-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack grade in this category. In crafting these long-term care grades, we look at the facility's personal care services. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.61089 percent of its residents. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's worst category was short-term care, which is the last category we scored. In this area, we gave this facility a grade of D. Our short-term care grades are important for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.3 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.
