Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we awarded it a first-rate long-term care score. Indeed, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.63636 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly ailment for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility doesn't leave this to chance. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a solid grade of C. Our short-term care ratings are vital for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We were not able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our last category, this nursing home really didn't perform well. Due to a poor grade of F in nursing, this is its worst category grade. Nursing grades are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. On top of receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this place was less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and found this nursing home was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this metric. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic dragged down this nursing home's nursing score significantly.
