Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection grade. Its inspection grade was far superior to its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave it a grade of A-. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a strong grade in short-term care. This nursing home received a grade of B in this category, which is one of our higher scores. In our short-term care category, we attempt to forge a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Our nursing score is largely based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is not an impressive total. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
Our last category is long-term care, where we awarded this nursing home a C in this category. Long-term care grades are used to assess a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 96.80851 percent of its patients, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. This facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
