Facility Inspections
To go along with its decent overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A- for our inspections rating. This is far better than its overall grade. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Nursing ratings are largely tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its next best category score in the area of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a B- in this category, which is a decent score. Our short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 4.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we graded was long-term care. We gave it a lowly F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. This is clearly a major disappointment. Nursing homes that don't fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility provided the vaccine to a relatively low 80 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
