Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this facility really outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best grades in this area with an A-. Our inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we gave this nursing home an B-. When calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we consider the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents and the level of skill of the nurses. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below average. Finally, our nursing scores also consider quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality
This facilities third best area is long-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this area. This is basically a middle of the pack grade in this area. In determining our long-term care ratings, we look at the assistance with daily living received by a facility's patients. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We discovered that this facility provided the vaccine to just 74.918564 percent of its residents, which is a bit of a concern. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the next area, this facility did not perform well. Due to a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this was this facility's poorest area. In our short-term care category, we seek to create a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. With a grade this poor for this category, we weren't stunned to find this place was below average in two of the key staffing areas we assess. The nursing home supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.4 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below average.
