Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection grade. In fact, its inspection score was far superior to its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave this facility an A+. Our inspection ratings are tied to many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
This facilities second most favorable category is short-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is essentially a slightly below average grade in this category. Short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best category came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. In our long-term care score, we focus on the amount of care offered by a facility, as well as a few quality metrics. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
The final area we analyzed is nursing, which proved to be a weak link for this nursing home. We awarded this facility a D in our nursing category. Our nursing rating analyzes many factors, however, the main one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This place provided a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
