Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Few facilities performed better in this area. Inspection grades are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this area typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's better category scores was in the category of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are well cared for. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 96.37462 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is often a life or death health condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home does not take any chances. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an D. The nursing rating assesses many subcategories, but the paramount one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This place fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's least impressive category is short-term care, which is the last category we analyzed. For this category, we awarded this nursing home a D. In determining our short-term care scores, we scrutinize a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is more often than not a meaningful assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. As you might expect, we learned that this nursing home offers significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.9 percent of its patients returning home.
