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 87.43802 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
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing rating. We gave this nursing home a grade of D. We assessed the qualifications of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses were with patients, in determining our score in this area. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This number is far below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our fourth area, this nursing home really did not fare well. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this is its poorest grade. With our short-term care score, we strive to craft a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. With a grade in this range for this category, we were not shocked to learn this nursing home was well below average in the two key staffing areas we assess. It supplied substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
