Facility Inspections
This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless inspection reports in recent years. We gave them an A in this category. Our inspection grades are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
One of this nursing home's more respectable category grades was in the category of long-term care. This proved to be its second most favorable category. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. For patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 90.9375 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat below what we were hoping for but still a decent percentage. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The third category we looked at was short-term care, where this facility received a C in this category. Short-term care grades are meaningful for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The more important thing is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
Nurse Quality
The next category we looked at was nursing, which is this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this area. We weighed the skill-level of nurses at the facility, in addition to the number of hours the nurses spent with residents, in calculating our score in this category. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these data points to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
