Facility Inspections
The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better grades in that area, with an A-. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area tend to have very few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a strong score in our long-term care category. We gave this facility an above average grade of B+ in that area. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. This is a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths for the elderly population. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

This facility's next best category is short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. In our short-term care score, we seek to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. It doesn't appear that this nursing home provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's worst category was nursing, which is the final area we scored. It received a lowly F in this category. Even with some acceptable scores in other areas, this grade is still of a concern so we felt obligated to point it out. The nursing rating considers a variety of factors. The most important factor is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. With only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
