Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our higher scores in that category, with an A. This is a much better score than the place's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Our inspection grades are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. It doesn't look like we were able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. We wish we had more data for this facility. Without having all of the deficiency data, it ended up being challenging to assess this facility in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded a favorable score in our long-term care category. We awarded this facility an above average grade of B in this area. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a great way to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the nursing home population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. Our nursing score assesses the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was short-term care. We gave this facility a D for our short-term care category, rendering this its worst category. In determining these short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 3.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
