Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection score. In fact, its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave this facility a grade of A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility an impressive grade in long-term care. This nursing home received a B+ in this category, which happens to be one of our more impressive scores. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 93.902435 percent of its residents, which is more than the average nursing home. The last datapoint we assessed was its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 4.14 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this wasn't as strong as some of its other scores in this category, this statistic can be skewed for some facilities based on the preexisting medical conditions of residents.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Our nursing grade focuses on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provided just 3.2 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed is short-term care, which proved to be this facility's weakest category. It received an abysmal F for this area, which is obviously concerning. Our short-term care ratings are probably more meaningful for those requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 23.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
