Facility Inspections
The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A. This is a much better grade than the place's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category scores came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B+. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 52.77778 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is slightly lower than we anticipated but still a respectable percentage. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, we were pleased to find facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it a F in this area. The nursing rating considers a number of subcategories. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is short-term care. We gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is a rock bottom score. This is certainly a major concern. In forming these short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this nursing home offers substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
