Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it did receive a very good grade in the category of inspections. In fact, we gave it a B for that category, which is one of our better scores. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid nursing homes that have too many severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
The next best category we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a C. Long-term care grades are generally used to judge a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 94.66192 percent of its patients, which is higher than most nursing homes. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
We were surprised to find that this nursing home also excelled in nursing. In fact, we gave it an D for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our nursing score features a host of subcategories. The most heavily weighted variable is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these metrics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the final area, we awarded this nursing home a D in our short-term care category. This is the nursing home's worst category rating. With our short-term care category, we attempt to forge a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. With its score in this area, we were not stunned to find that this facility was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
