Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this nursing home's overall performance, it actually received an impressive inspection report this year with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that area with a grade of B+. Our inspection ratings are tied to pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This means that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home received its second best category score in the area of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of C in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable score. In the category of long-term care, we look at the quantity of services provided by a facility, as opposed to more medically-intensive services. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 96.90722 percent of its patients. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a solid score in the area of short-term care, with a C. Short-term care grades are vital for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.
Nurse Quality
The next category we looked at is nursing, in which this nursing home was given a poor score here also. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. When calculating a facility's nursing grade, we look at the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home averaged a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is well below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
