Long-term Care Quality
This facility performed well in long-term care, with a grade of A- in this category. This really propped up its overall score quite a bit. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 98.10426 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
Inspections is another category where this nursing home excelled. We gave this facility an B+ for our inspections category. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose 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.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third most favorable area was short-term care. We awarded it a C in this area. This is essentially a slightly below average score in this area. In our short-term care assessment, we attempt to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
Nurse Quality
The next area we analyzed was nursing, which ended up being a weak spot for this facility. We awarded this facility a grade of just D in nursing. Our nursing grade consists of several subcategories, but the paramount one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This place fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
