Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
The next most favorable category we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility received its third most favorable category score in the category of long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this category, which is an acceptable grade. Our long-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's amount of care. This includes a vast range of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is more than the average nursing home. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
Our next area is nursing, in which we awarded this facility a C in this area. When determining our nursing grades, we factor in both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below average. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.
