Facility Inspections
To pair with its decent overall score, we awarded this facility an A- for its inspection grade. This score is far more impressive than its overall grade. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area tend to have very few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded a positive long-term care score. Indeed, we awarded them a grade of B+ in that area, which is one of our more favorable scores. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.15254 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable area was short-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this area. This is basically a slightly below average score in this area. In our short-term care assessment, we try to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.
Nurse Quality
The next area we rated is nursing. We awarded this facility a D in the area of nursing, leaving this as the facility's weakest category grade. Our nursing rating consists of quite a few data points, most of which are based on nursing hours. This place averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. In addition to its weak nursing hours, this place received poor marks in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We found that more of this nursing home's residents experienced falls which led to major injury. We would argue that many falls could likely be avoided with better nursing care. This statistic contributed to this place receiving a terrible nursing score.
