Facility Inspections
While this facility earned a decent overall grade, its inspections grade is notably more impressive than its overall score. Due to a strong inspection report this year, it received one of our better scores in that area with a B+. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's better category grades came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a B. It actually fared better than most facilities in this area. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 63 percent of its residents. This is slightly below what we were hoping for. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. We weighed the licensure of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the number of hours the nurses spent with residents, in computing our score in this category. This place averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is not an impressive total. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we rated is short-term care. This nursing home was given a C in this category. In determining our short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
