The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection score. Its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave it an A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's deficiencies. We would like to have more information about this facility. Without having access to deficiency data, it is difficult to evaluate this nursing home in the area of inspections.

The second highest area we gave this facility in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's assistance with daily living rather than the skilled therapy and medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 41.818184 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is significantly below average. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. Nursing grades are largely tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, nursing scores also consider quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its patients.

Switching gears to the fourth area, this facility really didn't fare well. Due to a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this was this facility's weakest category. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations 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 item we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.
