Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this place also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also want to note that this facility received a strong long-term care grade. Indeed, it received one of our best scores in that area with a score of A-. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing rating. In fact, we gave this facility an D. When calculating a facility's nursing grade, we weigh the number of hours nurses spend with patients as well as the levels of training of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is short-term care. We gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is a rock bottom score. This is certainly a significant concern. Short-term care scores are vital for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
