Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless health inspection reports in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Inspection ratings are tied to many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this nursing home a B+ in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our more favorable grades. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

This facility was given its next best category grade in the category of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this category, which is an acceptable grade. In determining our short-term care grades, we scrutinize a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This score is generally a fair assessment of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. We weren't able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the final category, this nursing home was given an acceptable nursing grade of C. Our nursing rating looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of skill of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below average. Finally, nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
