Facility Inspections
This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A- in this category. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable category is its long-term care grade, where it was given a grade of B-. In computing our long-term care ratings, we size up the assistance with daily living received by the facility's patients. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing grade includes many subcategories, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is far below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was short-term care, turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this area. Short-term care grades are often used to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. With a grade this poor for this area, we weren't stunned to find this place was below average in two of the key staffing metrics we focus on. The facility supplied far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.2 percent of its residents returning home.
