Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A- for our inspections rating. This is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. This facility received 11 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received a strong long-term care grade. As a matter of fact, we awarded them a grade of B in that area, which happens to be one of our better. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 93.71859 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be a few points less than we were hoping for but still a decent percentage. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Our nursing score assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our next category, we gave this nursing home a D for our short-term care category. This is the facility's worst category grade. Of course, this score hurt the facility's overall grade to some degree. In crafting these short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
