Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A+ for its inspection grade. This grade is far better than its overall grade. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. Nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility an B. Our nursing rating consists of a handful of components, but the primary one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving residents even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality
Another issue is the F this facility received in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be more important for people in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. As you might expect, we discovered that this nursing home provides significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical nursing home. The final metric we looked at in this area is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.2 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the last category, this facility didn't perform very well. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this is its poorest category grade. Facilities that do not fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 70.850204 percent of its residents. This is significantly less than average. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
