Facility Inspections
To pair with its decent overall score, we awarded this facility a grade of A+ for its inspection grade. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall rating. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we awarded this facility a B+ in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our higher scores. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure residents are well cared for. Once we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is often a life threatening illness for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility does not take any chances. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable category was short-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this area. This is essentially a middle of the pack grade in this area. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Nurse Quality
This facility's weakest category is nursing, which is the final category we scored. For this category, we awarded this facility a D. When computing a facility's nursing grade, we weigh the amount of time nurses are seeing patients and the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is well below average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these metrics hurt this nursing home's nursing rating quite a bit.
