Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this place also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. While this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this nursing home a B in our long-term care category. This is one of our better grades. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 96.90266 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the aged 65 and up population. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Our nursing score looks at the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of training of the nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This place averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is not an impressive total. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it scored well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed is short-term care, which proved to be this facility's weakest category. Sadly, it received an F for this area, which is clearly very concerning. In determining our short-term care grades, we scrutinize a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is more often than not a reliable measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation. With its grade in this area, we were not surprised to find that this place was well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Finally, we considered the number of patients that returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home 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.
