Facility Inspections
To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home a grade of A+ for its inspection grade. This score is far better than its overall score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. While this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a positive score in our long-term care category. We gave this facility a better than average grade of B in that category. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Next we wanted to quickly point out one of this facility's major weaknesses. In the area of nursing care, we gave this nursing home a lowly grade of F. In computing our nursing ratings, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed was short-term care, which was this nursing home's worst area. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this category, which is obviously very disappointing. Our short-term care grades are considered to be more meaningful for patients requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Given its grade in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the data we assessed. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
