Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection score. In fact, its inspection grade was far better than its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility a grade of A. Inspection grades are tied to several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Unfortunately, it does not look like we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Without having access to all of the deficiency data for this facility, it ended up being challenging to really evaluate the place in the area of inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest area ended up being its long-term care score, where it was awarded a B-. Our long-term care grades are based in part on the facility's volume of nursing care. This includes a vast range of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing grade. We gave this nursing home a grade of D. The nursing score consists of quite a few subcategories, many of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. 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. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the final category, this facility really didn't perform well. Due to an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is this nursing home's poorest category. In the area of short-term care, we strive to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
