Facility Inspections
To pair with its decent overall score, we awarded this facility a grade of A- for our inspections rating. This score is far better than its overall grade. Our inspection ratings are based on items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also wanted to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received positive short-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our better grades in that category, with a grade of B. This proved to be the facility's second best score. With our short-term care grade, we attempt to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this nursing home provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality
The third category we assessed is long-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of B- in this category. For residents in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 97.00855 percent of its patients, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
Our final category is nursing, where we gave this facility a C in this category. In calculating our nursing scores, we factor in both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care provided.
