Facility Inspections
In addition to having a decent overall grade, we also want to point out that this facility earned favorable health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in this category, with a B+. This is a much better score than the facility's overall score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next most favorable category is its long-term care grade, where it was awarded a B-. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 96.167244 percent of its patients. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. There are a host of criteria within this area. Most of the subcategories relate to nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we scored was short-term care, which is this nursing home's worst area. We awarded this facility a D in this area. Short-term care grades are often used to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide good rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. As you might expect, we discovered that this facility offers significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average nursing home. The final item we considered in this category is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.
