Facility Inspections
In addition to having a decent overall score, we also wanted to point out that this place received favorable inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with a B+. This is a notably better score than the nursing home's overall score. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we awarded this facility a grade of B+ in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our higher scores. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 84.13793 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is a few points below what we anticipated but still a decent figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The third category we assessed was short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a solid grade of C. Our short-term care scores are arguably most important for those needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The important question is whether this adversely impacted quality of care. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the fourth category, we gave this facility a D for nursing. This was the nursing home's worst category grade. Nursing scores are mostly tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This place offered a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
