Facility Inspections
It should be noted that this facility's inspection score outpaced its overall score. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ for its inspections grade, which is one of our better scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this nursing home's better category scores came in the category of short-term care. This wound up being its second most respectable category. In that area, we gave this facility a B-. Our short-term care scores are likely more critical for patients requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Our nursing score analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of those nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, although this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we scored was long-term care. For that category, we awarded this nursing home a C. Long-term care scores are based on the nursing home's volume of nursing services. This means a vast range of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
