Facility Inspections
In addition to having a decent overall score, we also want to point out that this nursing home earned favorable inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in that area, with a B+. This is a notably better score than the nursing home's overall grade. Our inspection grades are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this area typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
The next highest area we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. Our short-term care scores are arguably most meaningful for folks in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The real question is whether this adversely affected quality of care. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nursing scores are largely based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at is long-term care, is this nursing home's weakest area. We gave this nursing home a D in that area. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 96.64179 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
