Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection grade. In fact, its inspection grade was far better than its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave it an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we also wanted to point out that this facility was given strong short-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our more impressive grades in that category, with a grade of B. This proved to be the nursing home's second best score. In our short-term care grade, we strive to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. When determining our nursing scores, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This place averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is well below average. Lastly, nursing grades also consider quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our next category, we gave this nursing home a grade of D in long-term care. This was the nursing home's weakest category grade. Sadly, this score hurt the nursing home's overall grade to some degree. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinates 98.68421 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
