Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better grades in that area, with an A. This is a much better grade than the place's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Inspection grades weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our long-term care category. This is one of our more favorable grades. Facilities that do well in this category typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 99.67638 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than the majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

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 a grade of D. Our nursing score features many factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This facility averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed was short-term care, which turned out to be this facility's worst category. We awarded this facility a D in that area. Sadly, this score pulled down the nursing home's overall profile a bit. In computing our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This category is typically a solid assessment of the facility's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, we learned that this nursing home provides fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.7 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below average.
