Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home really outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with an A-. Our inspection grades are based on several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a solid grade in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's assistance with daily living rather than the skilled nursing or medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 95.780594 percent of its residents. This nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. Our nursing score is largely associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is an abysmal grade. This is obviously a major concern. In computing these short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. With its grade in this category, we were not stunned to learn that this place is well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.3 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below average.
