Facility Inspections
The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that area, with an A. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Inspection scores account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, we were not able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Without having access to the information regarding deficiencies for this nursing home, it is a challenge to really evaluate it in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded an impressive score in our short-term care category. We gave this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. Our short-term care ratings are likely more important for those in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 6.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a respectable grade in the category of long-term care, with a grade of C. In computing our long-term care grades, we analyze the personal care offered to the facility's patients. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 94 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
The last area we scored was nursing, turned out to be this facility's weakest category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. This really was one of just a couple of weak links of a strong report card. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these metrics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
