Long-term Care Quality
This place really performed well in the area of long-term care. We gave it an A for that category. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Facility Inspections
Inspections is another category where this facility excelled. We gave this nursing home an B+ for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

This facility's worst category was short-term care, which is the final area we looked at. It received an abysmal F for this category. In spite of a few decent scores in other categories, this grade is still concerning so we felt obligated to draw your attention to it. Short-term care grades are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Considering its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the figures we looked at. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 5 percent of its residents returning home.
