Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A+ for its inspection grade. This is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Our inspection scores are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 3 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 would like to note that this nursing home received a strong long-term care grade. In fact, we gave it one of our most favorable grades in that area with a score of A-. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a dangerous condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second lowest category is short-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that category. This is a relatively poor score. In our short-term care rating, we endeavor to craft a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. In this facility's case, it looks like it provided less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's worst area was nursing, which is the last category we looked at. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this category. Despite several solid grades in other areas, this grade is nevertheless disappointing so we would like to to point it out. We weighed the licensure of nurses at the facility, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses were with residents, in computing our grade in this category. This nursing home provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility.
