Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection score. Its inspection score was far better than its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest category turned out to be long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B-. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 97.51098 percent of its patients, which is a very solid datapoint. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. Our nursing score consists of many factors, many of which are based on nursing hours. This facility offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest area was short-term care, which is the last category we scored. For this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. With its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the measures we looked at. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
