Facility Inspections
The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection grade. In fact, its inspection grade was far better than its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave it an A-. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. 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 a generally positive view of this nursing home's recent inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this nursing home's higher category grades came in the area of short-term care. This ended up being its second most respectable category. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The critical question is whether this also impacted quality of care. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures. While this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it did very well in this subcategory. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning patients more often.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's worst area was long-term care, which is the final area we scored. For this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in this category likely don't provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes offer. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility provided data regarding vaccinations. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
