Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category generally have few severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we awarded this facility a B+ in our long-term care category. This is one of our better grades. For patients in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 70.952385 percent of its residents. This is a few points less than we were hoping for but still a decent percentage. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time those nurses were with patients, in determining our rating in this area. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's least impressive category is short-term care, which is the last area we assessed. For this category, we awarded this facility a grade of just D. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, we learned that this nursing home provided less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
