Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility's overall grade, it actually received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a grade of A-. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with too many severe deficiencies flagged. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we gave this nursing home an B-. When calculating our nursing ratings, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of short-term care, this nursing home was given just a D in that category. With our short-term care score, we endeavor to create a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated is long-term care. This nursing home was given a rock bottom grade of F in this category. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home provided the vaccine to only 45.744682 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
