Facility Inspections
This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Our inspection scores are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we also wanted to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was awarded impressive short-term care marks this year. We gave them one of our better grades in this category, with a B. This proved to be the nursing home's second strongest grade. Our short-term care grade is often employed to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to have high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing rating. In fact, we gave this facility an impressive grade of D. The nursing grade includes a host of factors. The most important factor is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this place's nurse staffing levels were well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our next category, we gave this nursing home a grade of D in long-term care. This was the nursing home's least impressive category score. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 99.77325 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
