Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A- for its inspection grade. This score is far more impressive than its overall grade. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple relatively minor dings are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we also wanted to point out that this nursing home was given favorable long-term care marks this year. We gave them one of our more impressive scores in that area, with a grade of B+. This turned out to be the nursing home's second strongest grade. When facilities receive this kind of score in long-term care it is typically a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is much higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time the nurses were with residents, in computing our rating in this area. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was short-term care, turned out to be this facility's weakest category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this category. This really was one of the few weak links on an otherwise strong profile. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics sunk this nursing home's short-term care score.
