Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection score. Its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This facility was assessed 12 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best category is long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Our long-term care grade focuses on a facility's assistance with daily living instead of the highly skilled nursing and medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 98.84615 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. Although it had 3.16 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was not too bad.

Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. The nursing score considers many datapoints. The most heavily weighted factor is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these datapoints as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our fourth area, we gave this facility a grade of D for the area of short-term care. This was the facility's weakest category rating. Short-term care ratings are important for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Given its poor grade, we were not shocked to find that this nursing home provided substantially fewer registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 36.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
