Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a strong overall grade, this facility fared even better in our inspections category which is based on the nursing home's recent inspections. We gave it an A for this area, which is one of our best scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. This nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A few relatively minor deficiencies are not necessarily something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
An additional quality feature for this facility is that it was given a very positive long-term care grade. Indeed, this wound up being its second best category grade. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility received its third most favorable category score in the category of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a B- in this area, which is a decent grade. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be more important for people requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.
Nurse Quality
The final category we graded was nursing, which is this facility's worst area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. Naturally, this score pulled down the nursing home's overall grade to some degree. When determining our nursing grades, we assess both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were significantly below average. Although this nursing home's nursing hours were below average, it actually surprised us in some of the qualitative statistics in this category. In particular, we were pleased to find that its patients are suffering fewer pressure ulcers than most nursing homes.
