Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this facility outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest grades in this area with an A+. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means CMS didn't 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 inspections are rare in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a positive score in our short-term care category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in that area. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded its third highest category score in the area of long-term care. We gave this facility a grade of C in this area, which is a respectable grade. In determining our long-term care scores, we size up the personal care received by a facility's patients. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 96.47577 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
The next category we graded was nursing. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this category, which is a very poor grade. This is obviously a major disappointment. Nursing ratings are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this facility's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These metrics hurt this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
