Facility Inspections
To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this facility an A+ for its inspection grade. This is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home an impressive grade in long-term care. This nursing home received a grade of B+ in this area, which happens to be one of our better grades. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 49.523808 percent of its residents, which is a few points below what we expected. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home only earned a D for its short-term care grade, which is well below average in this category. In our short-term care rating, we seek to forge a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we graded was nursing, ended up being this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this facility a D in that area. This really was one of the few weak points on a very solid report card. The nursing grade analyzes several data points, but the main one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. On top of receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this nursing home was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of patients suffering pressure ulcers and found that this place was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
