Facility Inspections
The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection score. Its inspection score was far superior to its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave this facility a grade of A-. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's higher category scores came in the category of long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. Once we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 66.242035 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. Our nursing rating is based on quite a few factors, however, the primary one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below the national average. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at was short-term care. It received an F in this area, which is a rock bottom score. This is clearly a significant disappointment. Our short-term care grades are believed to be most important for folks in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Based on its weak score in this category, we weren't surprised to learn this place provides far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics sunk this facility's short-term care grade.
