As a result, we gave it one of our highest scores in this area with an A. Inspection grades are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This place was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Another one of this facility's higher category scores came in the category of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B. It actually outpaced most nursing homes in this area. In computing our short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This grade is typically a reliable measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing grade weighs several subcategories, however, the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a low total compared to most facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

The last area we rated was long-term care. We gave this nursing home a D for long-term care, making this the facility's least impressive grade. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 97.77283 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
