Facility Inspections
In addition to having a decent overall score, we also wanted to point out that this facility earned favorable inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better grades in that area, with a B+. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade. Arguably the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a solid score in the category of long-term care, where it received a grade of B-. Our long-term care grade assesses a facility's personal care instead of the highly skilled therapy or medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to just 82.72727 percent of its patients. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Our nursing score analyzes a handful of factors, however, the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the next area, this nursing home was awarded a C in short-term care, which we consider to be an acceptable rating. Our short-term care grades are thought to be more critical for people in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final item we considered in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
