Facility Inspections
In addition to having a decent overall rating, we also want to point out that this place earned favorable inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in this category, with a B+. This is a much better grade than the nursing home's overall score. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this facility's higher category grades was in the area of short-term care. This ended up being its second best category. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. With our short-term care assessment, we try to create a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The more important thing is determining what effect this had on quality of care. The final item we considered in this area is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. We assessed the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses were with patients, in calculating our grade in this area. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, our nursing ratings also consider quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at is long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a B- in that area. For residents seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 94.0966 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
