Facility Inspections
Although we didn't give this nursing home a good overall score, we actually gave it a relatively strong grade in the category of inspections, where it received a B. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid nursing homes that had too many severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even with this deficiency, this place still had a relatively positive inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best area is short-term care. We gave it a B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack grade in this area. Our short-term care grades are crucial for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last metric we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 6.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. The nursing grade includes many factors, many of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at is long-term care. This facility received a poor grade of F in that category. When facilities receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is typically a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. As it turns out, this facility gave the vaccine to only 83.333336 percent of its patients, which is not a very encouraging sign. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
