Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's more impressive category scores was in the category of long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.798386 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. The nursing rating weighs a host of datapoints. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our next area, this nursing home really did not perform very well. Due to an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is this facility's weakest area. In crafting our short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Considering its weak grade in this category, we were not shocked to discover this nursing home offered far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.2 percent of its residents returning home.
