Facility Inspections
This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a strong score in our short-term care category. We gave this facility an above average grade of B+ in this category. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Our nursing grade considers several factors. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, although this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did very well in this statistic.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was long-term care, proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. We awarded this facility a D in this area. This was one of just a few weak points on a quality report card. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 96.601944 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
