Facility Inspections
On top of having a decent overall grade, we also would like to point out that this nursing home earned favorable health inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in that area, with a B+. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
This facility also excelled in the category of nursing, where it received an B. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Nursing grades are primarily based on the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was long-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of B- in this category. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.3165 percent of its patients. This place keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we graded was short-term care, which turned out to be this facility's worst area. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this category, which is clearly very concerning. With our short-term care score, we strive to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
