Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our higher grades in that area, with a grade of A+. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 4 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
Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we gave it a superb long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded this nursing home a score of A. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. We analyzed the skill-level of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses were with patients, in determining our grade in this category. This place averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This facility performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's weakest area is short-term care, which is the last category we assessed. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area. In spite of multiple acceptable grades in other categories, this score is nevertheless concerning so we would like to to make a note of it. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to grade a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
