Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection scores are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.
Nurse Quality
Adding to this facility's list of strengths, it also received an excellent nursing rating. We gave them an impressive grade of B- in this area. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below the national average. Lastly, nursing ratings also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Short-term Care Quality
The next most favorable category we awarded this facility in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In determining our short-term care scores, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is generally a fair assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of D for long-term care, making this the facility's least impressive area. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care likely don't provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes provide. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 91.11748 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is slightly lower than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
