Facility Inspections
The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. Its inspection score was far better than its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's more favorable category grades was in the category of long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a B+. It actually fared better than most facilities in this category. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.619774 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

This place averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed is short-term care. We gave this facility a D for our short-term care category, leaving this as the nursing home's weakest category grade. With our short-term care rating, we seek to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.9 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.
