Facility Inspections
This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent government inspection reports in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this category. Our inspection scores are tied to several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
The second highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. We looked at the skill-level of nurses working for the facility, as well as the number of hours those nurses worked with residents, in determining our grade in this category. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a low total compared with most facilities. Finally, our nursing scores also factor in quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.

We also awarded this nursing home a solid score in the area of long-term care, with a B-. In the area of long-term care, we focus on the quantity of services offered by a facility, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive category is short-term care, which is the final category we scored. For this area, we awarded this facility a D. In calculating our short-term care grades, we scrutinize a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This area is generally a solid measure of the facility's rehabilitation services. In this facility's case, it looks like it offers less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
