Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a favorable overall score, this facility also received a strong inspection grade, which is based on its recent government inspections. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor dings are not something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was given a strong long-term care score as well. We gave it one of our higher scores in that area with a score of B+. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given a strong short-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that category with a score of B. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, 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 nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
Our last category is nursing, in which we awarded this nursing home a B- in that area. Our nursing rating focuses on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of those nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provided just 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.
