Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. Its inspection grade was far better than its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave it an A-. Inspection grades are tied to several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this place had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few relatively minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's more impressive category grades was in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B. It actually fared better than most facilities in this area. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in long-term care it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. In calculating our nursing grades, we analyze both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a low total compared to most facilities. Finally, our nursing ratings also consider quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we looked at was short-term care. We gave this nursing home a C in that area. Our short-term care scores are important for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. It does not appear that this nursing home provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
