Facility Inspections
While we were not complementary of this facility's overall performance, it actually received an impressive inspection report this year with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that area with a B+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded its second most favorable category score in the category of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a C in this category, which is a decent score. Our short-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. The nursing rating weighs several datapoints, however, the paramount one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, while this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this statistic.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is long-term care. This facility was given an abysmal grade of F in this area. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
