Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L.

In this process, we look at the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

This facility's weakest category was long-term care, which is the last area we assessed. For this area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 96.90141 percent of its patients, which is better than most nursing homes. To our surprise, this facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
