Facility Inspections
This nursing home's best category grade came in the category of inspections. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B. It actually outperformed most facilities in this category. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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. Based on this, we still had favorable view of this nursing home's recent inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we awarded this facility a grade of B in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our better grades. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. The last datapoint we assessed was the facility's hospitalization rate. Here we found that this place had 2 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is middle of the road in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a solid grade in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. In our short-term care grade, we seek to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. This nursing home elevated its grade in this category by offering more care from registered nurses to its residents than the average facility. The last item we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. It was respectable in this metric with 46.1 percent of its patients returning home.

Switching gears to the fourth category, this facility was given a grade of C for nursing, which we consider to be a respectable rating. The nursing rating includes many subcategories. The most important one is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, this nursing home was relatively weak in two of the metrics we focus on, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls.
