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 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality
The next highest area we gave this facility in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's personal care rather than the skilled therapy or medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 98.96907 percent of its residents. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the next category, we awarded this nursing home a D for nursing. This is the facility's least impressive category score. Unfortunately, this category hurt the nursing home's overall grade to some degree. When determining our nursing ratings, we look at both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This particular nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This statistic is far below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
