Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection score. In fact, its inspection grade was far superior to its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave it an A-. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Another strength of this facility is its superb score in short-term care. We gave it one of our better scores in that category, with a score of A-. Short-term care grades are generally employed to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nursing scores are heavily correlated with quantity of nursing care available. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures. While this place got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this area. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning residents even once per day.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the final area, this facility did not perform well. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this was this nursing home's worst category grade. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 93.98496 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
