Facility Inspections
In addition to having a decent overall grade, we also wanted to point out that this facility earned favorable health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category, with a grade of B. This is a much better score than the nursing home's overall score. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this facility a B in our short-term care category. This is one of our more impressive scores. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. One of this place's strengths is physical therapy. We found it offers at least 1.5 times as many hours with physical therapists to its patients than most other nursing homes. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. It performed better than most facilities in this area with 49.6 percent of its patients returning home.

Long-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at is long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a C. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an above average percentage. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. While it had 2.84 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was better than the majority of nursing homes due to it having more complex patients.
Nurse Quality
The final area we scored was nursing. For that category, we gave this facility a C. The nursing score consists of quite a few data points, however, the most important one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. With 4.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this nursing home surpassed the vast majority of facilities. Finally, our nursing score also includes a few relevant quality-based metrics. While this facility excelled in terms of quantity of nursing hours, it fell short in certain subcategories that emphasized quality. This facility's nursing rating was pulled down by its weak performance in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers. We found that 17.5 percent of this nursing home's patients sustained pressure ulcers.
