Nurse Quality
It should also be noted that this nursing home's nursing grade outpaced its overall rating. In fact, we gave it a grade of B for its nursing score, which is one of our better scores. We looked at the levels of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours those nurses spent with residents, in determining our grade in this category. This particular nursing home provided 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Long-term Care Quality
The second most favorable category we gave this nursing home in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. In the area of long-term care, we focus more on the amount of services provided by a facility, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinates 94.91525 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
The next highest area we gave this facility in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. Short-term care grades are vital for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.
Facility Inspections
The final area we looked at is inspections. Inspection ratings are based on a facility's recent government inspection reports. This facility received a C in this category. Our inspection ratings are tied to several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This tells you inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident safety or health. We did not consider anything on this nursing home's inspection report to be too concerning.
