Facility Inspections
To pair with its decent overall grade, we gave this facility an A- for its inspection grade. This is far better than the facility's overall rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
This facility's second best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. Nursing ratings are largely tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this statistic. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning a patient at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality
This facilities next best category is short-term care. We awarded it a C in this area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this area. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to grade a facility's performance with rehabilitation To have quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Our next category is long-term care, where we gave this nursing home a grade of C in this area. Long-term care grades are typically used to grade a nursing home's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated only 87.664474 percent of its patients. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
