Facility Inspections
This facility received a strong overall grade as described above, but we especially would like to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A in this category. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility performed well in the category of long-term care. Indeed, we gave it a grade of A- for that category, which happens to be one of our most elite grades. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 98.49398 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is much higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. Nursing grades are mostly tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. While this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this subcategory. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving residents more often.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our last category, we awarded this nursing home a D in our short-term care category. This was the nursing home's worst category score. Naturally, this grade hurt the nursing home's overall grade to a certain degree. In determining our short-term care grades, we scrutinize a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This category is more often than not a useful measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. It looks like this place was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the metrics we considered. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home.
