Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place also excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category scores was in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B. It actually performed better than most facilities in this category. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.31507 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of short-term care, this nursing home received just a D in this area. Short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. It appears that this place was below average in the two key staffing metrics we focus on. The facility offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
This facility's worst category is nursing, which is the last category we assessed. For this category, we gave this facility a grade of D. Our nursing score includes several factors. The most heavily weighted factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. 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. On top of receiving below average scores for total nursing hours, this nursing home was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of patients suffering pressure ulcers and found this facility was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this statistic. This is a bad sign when you consider that so many pressure ulcers are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic dragged down this facility's nursing score significantly.
