Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a strong score in long-term care. This nursing home earned a grade of B+ in this category, which is one of our more favorable scores. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 97.409325 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a life threatening condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't leave this to chance. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. When computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the quantity of hours nurses are seeing patients and the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this metric. This is often an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving residents more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at was short-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's weakest area. We gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is clearly very concerning. In the area of short-term care, we seek to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. In this nursing home's case, we found that it offers less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.
