Long-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home one of our better grades in the area of long-term care, with an A. This is a much better grade than its overall grade, which was decent but not elite. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After we finished assessing the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is often a life or death ailment for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility does not leave this to chance. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also performed well in the area of inspections. As a result, it received one of our best scores in that area with an A. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an D. Our nursing rating looks at the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of skill of the nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This facility offered just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This facility performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's weakest area was short-term care, which is the final category we scored. It received a lowly F in this category. Even with multiple acceptable scores in other categories, this grade is nevertheless disappointing so we felt obligated to make a note of it. Short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. It looks like this place was subpar in many staffing areas we focus on. The facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
