Facility Inspections
It should be noted that this nursing home's inspection score outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for its inspections rating, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection grades weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second most favorable area was short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. Our short-term care scores are arguably most important for people requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Our nursing score is primarily associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's worst area is long-term care, which is the final category we looked at. For this category, we gave this facility a grade of D. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
