Facility Inspections
The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection score. In fact, its inspection score was far better than its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A+. Inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded its second most favorable category grade in the area of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a B- in this category, which is an acceptable grade. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide good rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a respectable score in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In forming these long-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 96.37681 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
The final area we graded is nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. This is clearly a significant concern. When determining a nursing home's nursing score, we look at the amount of time nurses are caring for patients as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
