Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of long-term care, where it received a grade of B-. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 99.23077 percent of its patients, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing rating. We gave this facility an impressive grade of D. In computing our nursing ratings, we factor in both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we graded was short-term care, which is a low point for this facility. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D for the area of short-term care. Our short-term care grades are crucial for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.5 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below average.
