Facility Inspections
The primary reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that area, with an A. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
One of this facility's better category grades came in the category of long-term care. This wound up being its second most respectable category. In that category, we awarded this facility a B-. In the area of long-term care, we focus more on the amount of care provided by a facility, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 64.15929 percent of its residents. This is many points lower than what we were hoping for. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.52 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest category turned out to be its short-term care grade, where it received a C. In crafting our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The more important thing is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home and found that this nursing home performed better here. In fact, this facility fared better than most facilities in the nation with 53 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The last category we graded is nursing, which was this nursing home's worst area. We gave this facility a D in this area. There are a variety of factors within this grade. Many of these subcategories reflect levels of nurse staffing. With just 2.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. In addition to its subpar nursing hours, this facility also received poor marks in several of the quality-based measures we considered in calculating our nursing ratings. We found that more of this nursing home's patients experienced falls which led to major injury.
