We also wanted to point out that this facility earned near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this area.

Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Contributing to this facility's list of strengths, it also was given a superb long-term care score. We gave them an elite strong of A in this category. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe.

Nurse Quality

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. There are several subcategories included in this grade. Many of these criteria are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

The last category we rated is short-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this category, which is an abysmal score. You shouldn't necessarily disregard a nursing home due to one terrible score though. In determining our short-term care scores, we look at the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This area is more often than not a meaningful assessment of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4 percent of its patients returning home.
