Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home an A- for our inspections rating. This grade is far better than the facility's overall score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category grades came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B. It actually outpaced most facilities in this category. Our short-term care grades are meaningful for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We were not able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best area was long-term care. We gave it a B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the road grade in this area. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the next category, this facility didn't fare very well. With an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is this facility's worst area. Nursing ratings are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
