Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place really excelled in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's better category scores was in the category of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 88.25996 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is a few points below what we anticipated but still a decent figure. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. The nursing score includes several components, however, the most important one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is far below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures. Although this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving a patient more often.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is short-term care, turned out to be this facility's weakest category. We gave this facility a D in that area. This was one of just a few weak links on an otherwise impressive report card. In computing our short-term care grades, we assess a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is often a useful assessment of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. In this place's case, we found that it provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
