Facility Inspections
It should also be noted that this nursing home's inspection score outpaced its overall grade. We gave it a B+ for its inspections grade, which is one of our better scores. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. This place received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we also would like to point out that this facility was awarded strong long-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. This proved to be the facility's second best score. Facilities that receive this kind of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. After we finished assessing the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 97.2477 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening health condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. The nursing rating consists of many datapoints, but the paramount consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, nursing grades also consider quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we rated is short-term care, which was a weak link for this facility. We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Given its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this place is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Honestly, this was what we expected here. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.2 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.
