Long-term Care Quality
This facility earned an elite long-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- in this area, which boosted its overall score. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a great way to minimize unnecessary deaths for the nursing home population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this nursing home's better category scores came in the category of short-term care. This ended up being its second most respectable category. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B-. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to assess a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Facility Inspections
This facility earned its third best score in inspections. Inspection ratings are based on a facility's recent government inspection reports. We gave this facility a C in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories G through L. This means CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Nurse Quality
The next category we rated is nursing, turned out to be this facility's worst area. We gave this facility a D in that category. Our nursing grade is based on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home averaged only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
