Facility Inspections
The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection grade. Its inspection grade was far superior to its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave it an A+. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.
Nurse Quality
This facility performed well in the area of nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is one of our best grades. When determining a facility's nursing rating, we assess the amount of time nurses spend with residents and the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this metric. This is often an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning patients even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third highest area is its short-term care grade, where it received a B-. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our final category, this nursing home was awarded a decent long-term care grade of C. In forming our long-term care grades, we analyze the facility's personal care services. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 96.68874 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
