Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection grade. Its inspection grade was far superior to its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave it an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of long-term care, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- in that category. For prospective residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 72.67442 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is slightly lower than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, we were pleased to find place 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 figure.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing rating considers many subcategories. The most important factor is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This place averages just 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is not an impressive total. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the last area, we awarded this nursing home a D in the area of short-term care. This was the facility's least impressive category rating. Naturally, this category pulled down the nursing home's overall profile a bit. In forming our short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. It looks like this place was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the measures we looked at. The last metric we looked at in this area is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
