Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless government inspection reports in recent years. We awarded them an A+ in this category. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. It does not look like we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category grades came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B+. It actually outperformed most facilities in this category. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. 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 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of C in this category. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We were not able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
Nurse Quality
The next category we rated was nursing. We gave this nursing home a D for nursing, rendering this the facility's weakest category grade. Our nursing grade is based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This facility offered just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This statistic is significantly below the national average. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home.
