Facility Inspections
Although we didn't give this nursing home a good overall score, we actually gave it a strong grade in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of B+. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid facilities that had too many severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. In spite of this deficiency, this nursing home still received a relatively favorable report.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this facility's higher category scores was in the category of short-term care. This wound up being its second most respectable category. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of C. Our short-term care ratings are meaningful for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. The facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last metric we looked at in this area is the number of patients who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home's third highest score is long-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this area, it still performed somewhat poorly. For residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The final category we assessed was nursing, which is a low point for this facility. We gave this nursing home a grade of D for the area of nursing. There are many factors within this area. Many of the factors reflect levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
