Facility Inspections
The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A+. This is a much better score than the place's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we still had positive view of this facility's recent inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest area ended up being long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our long-term care grades are more critical for people in need of more conventional assistance associated with activities of daily living. After considering the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 98.35796 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This place keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of C in this area. Our short-term care scores are presumably most meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Nurse Quality
The last category we looked at is nursing, proved to be this facility's worst area. We gave this facility a D in this category. Our nursing grade is based on many factors, however, the main one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This facility fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
