Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better grades in that category, with an A. This is a much better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to note that this nursing home received an B in the category of nursing. We assessed the levels of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses were with residents, in computing our rating in this category. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality
The third highest category we gave this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In calculating our short-term care scores, we scrutinize a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is generally a solid assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we rated is long-term care. For this category, we gave this facility a C. In our long-term care score, we focus more on the sheer volume of services provided by a facility, as well as a few quality measures. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We discovered that this facility provided the vaccine to just 87.9056 percent of its residents, which is several points lower than we expected. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
