Facility Inspections
This nursing home received an inspection grade which is better than its overall rating. Inspection scores are associated with the facility's recent health inspections. We awarded this nursing home a very solid grade of B+ in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. While this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. Nursing scores are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality
The next highest category we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. For patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 79.111115 percent of its residents. This is quite a bit below what we were hoping for. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed is short-term care. For this category, we gave this facility a C. In computing these short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
