Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B+ for our inspections category. This score is much more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider 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.
Long-term Care Quality
The next highest area we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Long-term care scores are based on the nursing home's volume of care. This means a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of short-term care, this facility was awarded just a D in this category. Short-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Based on its score in this area, we were not stunned to discover that this place was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the figures we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the last category, we awarded this facility a D for the area of nursing. This was the facility's weakest category score. The nursing rating includes numerous subcategories. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. With a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this facility's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
