Facility Inspections
To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home a grade of A for its inspection grade. This grade is far better than its overall grade. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility received its second highest category grade in the area of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this category, which is a decent score. In calculating these short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 93.42723 percent of its residents for pneumonia. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
The final area we assessed was nursing, proved to be this facility's weakest area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this area. This is one of the couple of weak points in an otherwise strong report card. The nursing grade includes several data points. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
