Facility Inspections
It should also be noted that this nursing home's inspection grade outpaced its overall score. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for its inspections rating, which is a very solid score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third most favorable category ended up being short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a C. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This score is frequently a solid measure of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The key is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 3.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's worst category was long-term care, which is the final area we analyzed. For this area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of just D. For patients looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
