Facility Inspections
This facility's best category grade came in the area of health inspections. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B+. It actually outperformed most facilities in this area. Inspection ratings 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 government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's higher category grades was in the area of long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
The third area we graded is short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Our short-term care grades are likely most meaningful for patients requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. It does not appear that this nursing home submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
The final area we analyzed is nursing. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the number of hours the nurses spent with residents, in computing our grade in this category. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. While this place didn't have as many nursing hours per resident as many of the other facilities we looked at, it was still better than average in the area of preventing major falls.
