Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best area was long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a B-. Long-term care scores are based on a nursing home's amount of nursing care. This means a vast range of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this nursing home an F in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care scores are likely most important for residents needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care score.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the fourth category, this nursing home really did not perform very well. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in nursing, this was this facility's poorest grade. Our nursing rating weighs many factors, but the paramount one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
