Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent government inspection reports in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A in this category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given an impressive long-term care score. In fact, we gave it a grade of B in that area, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is based on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. Although this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this metric. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving a resident more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was short-term care, proved to be this facility's least impressive area. We gave this facility a grade of D in that category. This really was one of just a couple of weak points in an otherwise strong profile. Our short-term care scores are presumably more important for folks needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
