Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection score. Its inspection score was far better than its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave it an A+. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's long-term care score turns out to be one of its better grades. The facility was awarded a C in this area. Our long-term care ratings are meaningful for patients needing personal care. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 91.095894 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is a few points below what we expected but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable area was short-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this area. This is basically a middle of the pack score in this category. With our short-term care grade, we seek to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. In fact, it supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's worst category is nursing, which is the final category we assessed. Sadly, it received an F for this area. Despite several solid scores in other areas, this score is still concerning so we felt obligated to make sure you are aware. When determining our nursing ratings, we look at both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
