Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a quality overall grade as described above, but we especially want to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We gave them an A in this category. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category usually have very few severe deficiencies. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our nursing grade. Nursing grades are primarily based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the next area, this nursing home also earned a grade of B for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this category. Short-term care grades are typically employed to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to provide good rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our last category, we gave this facility a grade of D for the area of long-term care. This was the nursing home's worst category score. Nevertheless, you should not over-emphasize a single weak grade. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
