Facility Inspections
The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection score. Its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave this facility an A-. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this nursing home a B+ in our long-term care category. This is one of our higher scores. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 98.59155 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Nursing ratings are primarily based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it scored well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care provided.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was short-term care. We awarded this facility a D for our short-term care category, making this the nursing home's weakest grade. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We found that this place was below average in many staffing areas we looked at. It provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
