Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection grade. Its inspection score was far superior to its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave this facility an A-. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's more favorable category scores was in the area of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a B. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more important for people requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a respectable score in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Our long-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of nursing care. This means a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 98.376625 percent of its patients, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the last area, we gave this nursing home a D for our nursing category. This was the facility's weakest category score. In calculating our nursing ratings, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
