Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better grades in that area, with an A+. This is a much better score than the place's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's more impressive category grades was in the category of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the criteria we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to avoid negative health outcomes for the aged 65 and up population. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home wound up receiving a a very poor grade in our short-term care area. It was given an F in this category. With our short-term care assessment, we seek to forge a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last item we looked at in this area is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.6 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The next area we looked at was nursing, which turned out to be this facility's weakest category. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this area, which is certainly a major concern. When determining our nursing scores, we factor in both nursing hours and the training levels of the nurses. This place averaged a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. To go along with its low total nursing hours per patient, this place had really poor scores in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. For starters, we looked at the percent of residents having falls which led to serious injury. This nursing home was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
