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 facilities performed better in this category. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a positive long-term care grade. As a matter of fact, we gave it a grade of B+ in that area, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 97.40741 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is often a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-, which is a decent grade. There are several subcategories included in this area. Many of these criteria reflect levels of nurse staffing. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at is short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of D for the area of short-term care, making this the facility's weakest category grade. In forming our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
