Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A few minor dings are not necessarily something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category grades came in the category of long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is often a life threatening ailment for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not take any chances. 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 less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a middle of the road grade in the category of short-term care, where it received a grade of C. In our short-term care assessment, we strive to create a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below average.
Nurse Quality
The last category we looked at was nursing, which turned out to be this facility's worst area. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. Our nursing score analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. With just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this place's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
