Facility Inspections
To go along with its decent overall grade, we awarded this facility an A for its inspection grade. This is far better than its overall score. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category grades came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a B. Facilities that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 95.84906 percent of its residents. This is a great way to avoid negative health outcomes for the senior population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. Our nursing grade is largely associated with the facility's nurse staffing. With only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this place's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we scored is short-term care, which ended up being this facility's worst category. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category, which is obviously very concerning. In calculating our short-term care grades, we size up a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This score is considered to be a useful assessment of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Based on its score in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.4 percent of its residents returning home.
