Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in that category, with an A+. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a favorable score in long-term care. This nursing home received a grade of B in this category, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. When facilities receive this type of score in this category it is typically a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 97.51185 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the elderly population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a positive grade in short-term care. This facility earned a B in this area, which happens to be one of our better grades. In our short-term care grade, we try to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
This facility's worst area is nursing, which is the final category we assessed. Sadly, it received an F in this area. Even with some respectable scores in other areas, this score is still of a concern so we wanted to draw your attention to it. Our nursing rating is based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This particular facility provided a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This statistic is well below average. On top of receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this place was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and found that this place was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this metric.
