Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned a very favorable inspection score. In this area, we awarded this facility a B. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home also excelled in the category of nursing, where it earned an B. Nursing scores are primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning a resident more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility's third highest category was short-term care. As it turns out, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed relatively badly. In calculating our short-term care scores, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This area is considered to be a reliable measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is long-term care, was this facility's least impressive category. We awarded this facility a D in that category. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable total. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
