Nurse Quality
We would like to point out that this nursing home's nursing rating exceeded its overall rating. This facility earned a B in this category, which is one of our better grades. The nursing grade weighs many datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Facility Inspections
This facility's inspection grade also was better than its overall score. Due to a quality inspection report this year, it received one of our better grades in that category with a B. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious 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 gave this nursing home a solid grade in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. With our long-term care category, we weigh the sheer volume of services offered by a facility, along with some quality metrics. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 99.7955 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's least impressive category was short-term care, which is the final area we looked at. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of just D. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Based on its weak rating in this area, we were not surprised to learn that this facility offered far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.5 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
