Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we did give it an excellent score in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A-. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid places that had a long list of severe deficiencies. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Nursing grades are largely associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is a very low figure. Finally, while this place got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this subcategory.

Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's next highest category is long-term care. As it turns out, with a grade of D in this area, it still performed somewhat badly. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was short-term care. This facility received a poor grade of F in this category. In our short-term care rating, we endeavor to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. As you might expect, we found that this place provides significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical nursing home. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 3.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
