Long-term Care Quality
Although we didn't rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to note its relatively favorable long-term care grade this year. We gave it a B+ in this area. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 99.74359 percent of its residents. This is a proven method to minimize negative health outcomes for the nursing home population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
Shockingly, this nursing home actually earned a good grade in the area of inspections as well. We gave it a B for that category, which is one of our better scores. Not many facilities that were this poor overall received multiple category grades of this caliber. Arguably the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid nursing homes that had a long list of deficiencies. It does not appear that we have deficiency data for this nursing home. We wish we had more information about this facility. Without all of the information regarding deficiencies, it was challenging to evaluate the place in the area of inspections.

Nurse Quality
We were stunned to find that this facility also excelled in nursing. We gave it a score of D for that category, which is one of our best grades. Nursing scores are mostly based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. With a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this place's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we graded is short-term care. It received a lowly F in this area, which is a rock bottom grade. In our short-term care grade, we seek to forge a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Based on its abysmal grade in this category, we weren't surprised to discover that this nursing home provided significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last item we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.7 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
