Nurse Quality
In addition to earning a great overall score, this nursing home really excelled in the area of nursing, where it received an A-. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. The nursing score consists of several factors, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This facility provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we also would like to note that this facility received positive short-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our better grades in this category, with a B. This proved to be the nursing home's second strongest score. In our short-term care score, we try to create a fair measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. It does not appear that this nursing home submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality
We awarded this facility just a D for our long-term care score. This is not one of our better scores. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to just 61.68478 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best feature in this category.
Facility Inspections
Turning the last category of inspections, we gave this facility a score of D for our inspection category. This proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. We take a weak score in this category very seriously. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. We suggest you pay close attention to the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a risk to patient health or safety. Lastly, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this place was assessed significant government fines totaling more than $100,000. This generally signifies that a nursing home's poor track record has been an issue for several years.
