Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this facility also earned top notch health inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in this category, with a grade of A. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a grade of A- for our short-term care score. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we gave them one of our stronger grades in our long-term care category as well, with a B. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 98.50746 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
The final area we analyzed was nursing, was this facility's least impressive area. We awarded this facility a D in this category. This really was one of the few dings in a quality report card. The nursing score consists of quite a few components, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This facility offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This number is significantly below the national average. Unfortunately, this nursing home also didn't perform as well as we hoped in some of the quality measures we assessed for this category.
