Facility Inspections
The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection grade. In fact, its inspection score was far superior to its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A-. Inspection scores are tied to several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home an impressive grade in long-term care. This nursing home earned a grade of B in this area, which turns out to be one of our better scores. Facilities that do well in this category typically provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After considering the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 99.417755 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous health condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
This facility earned a strong nursing rating as well. It earned one of our higher scores in that category with an above average grade of F. Our nursing score is based on many subcategories, but the primary consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we rated was short-term care. We gave it a lowly F for this area, which is a poor grade. This is obviously a significant disappointment. Our short-term care scores are arguably most critical for residents in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its poor grade in this area, we weren't surprised to discover this facility offers substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
