Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher scores in that area, with an A-. This is a much better score than the place's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also would like to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was awarded strong long-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our better scores in this category, with a grade of B. This proved to be the facility's second best grade. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 96.296295 percent of its patients. This is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths for the senior population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. Our nursing grade features a number of subcategories. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care provided.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we graded was short-term care, which proved to be this facility's worst area. We gave it an F for this area, which is clearly very concerning. In determining our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Given its grade in this area, we weren't surprised to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 3.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
