Facility Inspections
This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent government inspection reports in recent years. We gave them an A- in this category. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Nurse Quality
This facility earned high grades in the category of nursing as well. In fact, it earned one of our highest scores in that category with an B-. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next most favorable category ended up being its long-term care score, where it was given a grade of B-. In computing these long-term care ratings, we look at the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home gave the vaccine to just 85.35032 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this facility excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we graded is short-term care, which proved to be a weak spot for this nursing home. We awarded this facility a D for short-term care. Our short-term care grade is generally used to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to offer good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
