Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also excelled in the area of long-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A in that category, which happens to be one of our highest scores. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 97.932816 percent of its residents. This is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the nursing home population. The last statistic we assessed is the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 1.92 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is middle of the pack in this area.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a score of D. Our nursing rating looks at the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This facility offered just 2.6 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is not a very impressive figure. In addition to its subpar nursing hour totals, this place earned poor marks in many of the quality-based measures we considered in computing our nursing ratings. We found that a higher percentage of this place's residents suffered falls which led to serious injury.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed is short-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's worst category. It received a lowly F in this category, which is clearly very disappointing. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We found that this facility was subpar in multiple staffing metrics we assessed. It offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 41.3 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
