Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this nursing home outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest grades in that category with a grade of A+. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home an impressive grade in long-term care. This nursing home earned a B+ in this area, which turns out to be one of our more favorable scores. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 97.413795 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. When computing our nursing grades, we look at both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This place provides only 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. Although this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this subcategory. This is often an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning a resident at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive area is short-term care, which is the final category we analyzed. Sadly, it received an F in this category. Even with a few acceptable scores in other areas, this grade is still alarming so we would like to to make a note of it. Our short-term care scores are meaningful for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We found that this place was below average in several staffing metrics we looked at. It offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
