Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded a favorable long-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it a B in this area, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 80.13245 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with quantity of nursing care available. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at was short-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's weakest area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that area. Unfortunately, this grade pulled down the facility's overall profile to a certain degree. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. It looks like this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the staffing figures we assessed. The last measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.
