Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially would like to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave it an A+ in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's quality category scores came in the category of long-term care. We gave them one of our stronger grades in that area, with a grade of B+. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 91.42857 percent of its patients. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

This nursing home was given its next highest category score in the area of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a B- in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable score. Our short-term care ratings are presumably most important for residents needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that it fared better than most facilities in the country in this area with 55.8 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Our last category is nursing, where we gave this nursing home a grade of C in that area. Our nursing rating assesses quite a few data points, many of which are tied to nursing hours. This place provides only 3.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, we like to look at quality-based metrics, such as the percent of residents who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are decent measures of the quality of nursing care.
