Facility Inspections
The primary reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that area, with an A+. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this facility's better category grades came in the category of short-term care. This wound up being its second most respectable category. In that category, we awarded this facility a C. Short-term care grades are crucial for prospective residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We were extremely impressed to find that this facility offers its residents substantially more physical therapist hours than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that it performed better than most nursing homes in the country in this area with 49.5 percent of its patients returning home.

Nurse Quality
Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this facility an D. The nursing score considers a host of datapoints. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. With just 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this place's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. On top of receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this facility was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents suffering pressure ulcers and found this place was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this metric. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many pressure ulcers are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic dragged down this facility's nursing rating substantially.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the last area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D for our long-term care category. This is the facility's weakest category grade. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.888885 percent of its patients, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Although it had 1.75 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was not bad since it had more complex patients.
