Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite minor. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a strong score in long-term care. This nursing home received a grade of B in this category, which is one of our more favorable grades. Facilities that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed was short-term care, where this nursing home received a C in this category. Our short-term care scores are believed to be most meaningful for patients requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. It doesn't look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below average.
Nurse Quality
The final category we assessed was nursing. This nursing home was given a grade of C in the area. There are a host of factors within this area. Many of these criteria reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below average. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
