Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple minor dings aren't something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this nursing home's more favorable category scores was in the category of short-term care. This turned out to be its second best category. In that area, we gave this facility a B-. Short-term care scores are critical for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Our nursing score focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of skill of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below average. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures. While this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this statistic. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of moving patients more often.
Long-term Care Quality
Our final area is long-term care, in which we awarded this facility a grade of C in that area. In the category of long-term care, we look at the amount of services offered by a facility, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 97.04797 percent of its patients, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
