Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility really outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best grades in this category with an A-. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home received 15 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's more impressive category scores came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. It actually fared better than most facilities in this area. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. Once we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly can be a life threatening condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. Our nursing grade is based on a variety of datapoints. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.
Short-term Care Quality
Our last category is short-term care, in which we awarded this facility a grade of C in that category. In determining our short-term care ratings, we assess a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is frequently a useful assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
