Facility Inspections
The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection score. Its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave it an A. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
The second highest category we gave this facility in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a C. Our long-term care ratings are more important for folks in need of more conventional services related to personal care. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 99.28058 percent of its residents, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was short-term care. This nursing home's received an abysmal short-term care score where it was given an F. Short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With a score of this caliber in this category, we weren't shocked to learn this facility was well below average in two of the key staffing figures we focus on. In fact, it provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's weakest category is nursing, which is the final area we looked at. We gave it an abysmal F in this category. Despite some respectable scores in other categories, this grade is still concerning so we would like to to draw your attention to it. Our nursing grade analyzes many components, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. To go along with its below average totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place had really bad scores in many of the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing falls leading to serious injury. This facility was at more than 150 percent of the national average in this statistic.
