Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category grades came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. It actually outperformed most facilities in this area. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. There are numerous subcategories within this grade. Many of the subcategories reflect levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, our nursing ratings also consider quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we scored is short-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's worst area. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is obviously very concerning. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we learned that this nursing home provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 3.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
