Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection grade. Its inspection grade was far better than its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave it a grade of A+. Inspection scores weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area typically have few of these severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next most favorable category was long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Long-term care scores are based on a facility's amount of nursing services. This includes a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. We were a bit alarmed this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 79.20133 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Next we wanted to quickly point out one of this facility's major weaknesses. In the area of nursing care, we gave this nursing home a lowly grade of F. We assessed the skill-level of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of time those nurses were with patients, in computing our rating in this area. This particular facility offered just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This statistic is well below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the last area, this nursing home didn't fare well. Due to a poor grade of F in short-term care, this is its weakest grade. Our short-term care grade is generally used to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to have highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.5 percent of its residents returning home.
