Facility Inspections
Grade: A
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily something to panic about.
Nurse Quality
Grade: B
We also wanted to point out that this facility received an impressive grade of B in nursing. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
Grade: B-minus
The next area we looked at is short-term care, where this nursing home was given a B- in this category. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: C
The last category we graded was long-term care. We awarded it a C in that category. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this area. For residents seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 96.354164 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
