Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave them an A in this category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best category was its long-term care grade, where it was awarded a B-. For patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 99.35691 percent of its patients. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

The third area we analyzed was short-term care, where this facility was given a grade of B- in this area. Our short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Nurse Quality
The final area we scored was nursing, which is this nursing home's least impressive category. We gave this facility a D in this category. Of course, this category hurt the facility's overall profile to some degree. There are many factors included in this category. Most of these data points reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. With a meager 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. On top of receiving below average scores for nursing hours, this nursing home was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and found that this nursing home was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this statistic.
