Inspection ratings are tied to many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we still had a generally favorable view of this nursing home's recent inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next most favorable area turned out to be long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. In the category of long-term care, we weigh the quantity of care offered by a facility, rather than more medically-intensive services. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 99.6997 percent of its patients, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital.

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. In determining our nursing scores, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This facility averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily, which is not an impressive total. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It scored well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we rated is short-term care, which turned out to be a low point for this nursing home. We awarded this facility a D for our short-term care category. Our short-term care grades are likely more meaningful for individuals requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 3.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
