Facility Inspections
This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this category. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded 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 scores. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 98.31933 percent of its patients, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The third most favorable category we awarded this facility in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a C. With our short-term care score, we attempt to craft a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our fourth area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D for the area of nursing. This was the facility's worst category rating. Unfortunately, this grade pulled down the nursing home's overall profile to some degree. Nursing grades are primarily tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. In addition to receiving below average scores for total nursing hours, this place was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and found this facility was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many pressure ulcers are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. This statistic really pulled down this facility's nursing rating significantly.
