Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in this area with an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given a positive grade in our long-term care category. We awarded this facility an above average grade of B+ in this category. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. Once we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.27007 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is often a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The third area we assessed was short-term care. This nursing home's was given a low-end short-term care score where it received an F. Short-term care scores are meaningful for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The last area we rated is nursing, which proved to be this facility's worst area. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is certainly very disappointing. Our nursing rating is largely tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
