Facility Inspections
To go along with its relatively modest overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A for its inspection grade. This is far better than its overall score. Inspection grades are tied to many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
An additional strength of this facility is its impressive grade in long-term care. We awarded it one of our best scores in that area, with a score of A-. Facilities that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 99.07407 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly health condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of short-term care, this facility received a grade of just D in that area. In our short-term care grade, we strive to craft a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we learned that this nursing home provided less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Nurse Quality
This facility's weakest category is nursing, which is the final category we looked at. It received an F for this category. Despite multiple acceptable grades in other categories, this grade is still alarming so we wanted to point it out. When calculating our nursing ratings, we assess both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. 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. In addition to its weak nursing hour totals, this nursing home also earned suboptimal scores in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We found that a higher percentage of this facility's residents experienced falls which led to major injury.
