Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. Its inspection grade was far better than its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave this facility a grade of A-. Our inspection scores are tied to several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we awarded this facility an B-. We looked at the levels of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the number of hours those nurses worked with patients, in calculating our grade in this area. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in a few of these quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this statistic. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning a patient even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed is short-term care, where this facility was given a grade of C in this category. Our short-term care grade is often used to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to provide highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the last area, we gave this nursing home a D for our long-term care category. This is the nursing home's weakest category grade. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 97.46835 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
