Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this facility favorably overall, we did give it an excellent score in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best category was long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B-. In determining these long-term care ratings, we assess the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home ended up receiving a bottom of the barrel grade in our short-term care category. It received a lowly F in this area. In our short-term care rating, we attempt to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. As you might expect, we found that this nursing home offers substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 5.4 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below average.
Nurse Quality
The next area we analyzed is nursing. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this category, which is a very poor grade. There are many factors included in this category. Most of these factors relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
