Facility Inspections
While we gave this nursing home a bad overall grade, we awarded it a fairly respectable score in the category of inspections, where we gave it a B-. This was better than its other categories. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Nursing grades are primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is far below average. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this metric. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning a patient more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a decent grade in the area of short-term care, with a C. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients 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 patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed was long-term care, where this facility received a poor score in this area also. It received a lowly F for this area, which is obviously somewhat alarming. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in long-term care it is a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 52.789703 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
