Facility Inspections
The main reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that category, with a grade of A. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's higher category scores was in the category of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B+. It actually outperformed most facilities in this category. For residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 87 percent of its residents, which is slightly lower than we were hoping for. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively 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 C. We analyzed the levels of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses worked with residents, in determining our score in this category. This facility averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we scored is short-term care, which turned out to be this facility's worst category. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is certainly concerning. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We found that this facility was subpar in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we looked at. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.3 percent of its patients returning home.
