Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we gave this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, this facility also was awarded favorable long-term care scores in our assessment. In fact, we gave them one of our better grades in that area, with a grade of B+. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths for the elderly population. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third highest area ended up being its short-term care score, where it was given a grade of C. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most important for residents requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the fourth area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D in our nursing category. This was the nursing home's weakest category grade. Of course, this score pulled down the nursing home's overall profile to some degree. Our nursing rating assesses the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This facility offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is well below average. Unfortunately, this nursing home also did not perform as well as we had hoped in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed for this category.
