Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall grade, we awarded this facility a grade of A for its inspection grade. This grade is far better than the facility's overall rating. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information about this nursing home's deficiencies. Without having access to all of the information regarding deficiencies for this facility, it is difficult to really assess it in the inspections category.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second highest category ended up being its long-term care score, where it received a grade of B-. In calculating our long-term care ratings, we assess the assistance with daily living offered to a facility's residents. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

In calculating our nursing grades, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This place averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is a very low figure. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed was short-term care. This facility received a C in the category. Our short-term care grades are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The important question is whether this also affected quality of care. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.
