Facility Inspections
We would like to point out that this nursing home's inspection rating exceeded its overall score. This facility earned a grade of B+ in this category, which is one of our better grades. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we had positive view of this facility's inspections.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we gave this facility an B-. When calculating our nursing grades, we look at both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures. Although this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this area. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving a patient more often.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest category is long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of C. In our long-term care grade, we analyze the amount of services provided by a facility, along with a few quality statistics. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility provided the vaccine to 96.618355 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable total. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was short-term care. In this category, we gave this facility a C. Our short-term care scores are crucial for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The question is whether this also affected quality of care. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
