Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. We weren't able to find deficiency data for this nursing home. Without having information regarding deficiencies for this facility, it is a challenge to really grade the place in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's higher category grades was in the category of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a B. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 97.430405 percent of its residents, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. In determining our nursing grades, we assess both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care provided.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the final category, this facility was awarded a respectable short-term care score of C. Our short-term care scores are arguably most meaningful for residents in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 3.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.
