Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an A-. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's long-term care score ended up being one of its higher scores. The facility was awarded a grade of B- in this category. Our long-term care grade focuses on a facility's assistance with daily living rather than the highly skilled nursing or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This nursing home 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 a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home only earned a D for its short-term care grade, which is not a score to write home about. Our short-term care ratings are likely most critical for those needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Given its poor score in this category, we weren't stunned to learn this place provided far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The last metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics sunk this facility's short-term care grade.
Nurse Quality
The last area we rated is nursing, which was this nursing home's worst area. We gave this nursing home a D in this category. The nursing category consists of a handful of components, most of which are associated with nursing hours. This place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
