Facility Inspections
To go along with its decent overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for its inspection grade. This grade is far better than the facility's overall rating. Our inspection scores are tied to several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this area typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also received a strong short-term care score. Indeed, we awarded them a B+ in this category, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. In calculating our short-term care grades, we size up the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This category is generally a fair assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality
Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing score. We gave this facility an impressive grade of D. Nursing grades are primarily based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed was long-term care, proved to be this facility's worst category. We gave this facility a D in this category. This is one of just a few weak links in a strong report card. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. One of the data points we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
