Facility Inspections
This facility received an inspection score which is stronger than its overall score. Inspection ratings are tied to the facility's recent inspections. We awarded this facility an above average grade of B+ in this category. Inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. It does not look like we were able to find deficiency data for this facility. We would like to have more data for this facility. Without having access to the deficiency related data, it is a challenge to evaluate this facility in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category scores came in the area of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B. It actually outperformed most facilities in this area. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to forge a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing rating. We gave this nursing home an impressive grade of D. Our nursing score assesses the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of skill of the nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we graded is long-term care, which turned out to be a weak link for this facility. We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D in our long-term care category. For residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 99.3421 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
