Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection score. Its inspection grade was far superior to its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave it an A-. Inspection ratings are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 3 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.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was given positive long-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our more favorable grades in this category, with a grade of B. This turned out to be the nursing home's second strongest score. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are well cared for. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 71.21212 percent of its patients. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing rating. In fact, we gave this facility an D. The nursing grade includes quite a few subcategories, however, the main one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we scored was short-term care. We gave it an F for this area, which is a poor score. This is clearly a major disappointment. Short-term care grades are meaningful for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With a score of this caliber for this category, we were not shocked to learn that this place was below average in multiple staffing metrics we assess. The nursing home supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
