Facility Inspections
The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection score. In fact, its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave this facility an A. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received a strong short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. In computing our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. We weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. When determining our nursing ratings, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below average. Lastly, although this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this area.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed is long-term care, which ended up being this facility's weakest area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this category. Of course, this category pulled down the facility's overall profile to some degree. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 98.98477 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
