Facility Inspections
To pair with its decent overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A for its inspection grade. This grade is far more impressive than its overall rating. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. 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. Based on this, we had a generally favorable view of this nursing home's inspections.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we also would like to point out that this facility was awarded impressive short-term care marks this year. We gave them one of our more favorable scores in this area, with a grade of B. This turned out to be the facility's second strongest grade. Our short-term care grades are considered to be most important for those needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

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. The nursing score weighs a handful of components, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest category was long-term care, which is the final category we analyzed. It received an abysmal F for this area. Despite some solid grades in other categories, this grade is still alarming so we felt obligated to make a note of it. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 94.28571 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
