Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this facility really outperformed its overall grade in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best grades in this area with a grade of A. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this facility received an impressive grade of B in the category of nursing. Our nursing score is primarily tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third highest category was its short-term care score, where it was awarded a grade of C. Short-term care grades are crucial for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this area. Our long-term care ratings are pivotal for patients requiring non-healthcare services such as personal care. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 69.69697 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps 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 number.
