Facility Inspections
The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection grade. In fact, its inspection grade was far superior to its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave this facility an A+. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we also wanted to note that this facility was given strong long-term care marks this year. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with a B. This turned out to be the nursing home's second best grade. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 97.71863 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its short-term care grade, which is well below average in this category. Our short-term care scores are likely more meaningful for people requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. With its abysmal rating in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this facility offered significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 5 percent of its patients returning home.

Moving on to the last area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D in nursing. This was the facility's worst category rating. Nursing grades are mostly based on the facility's nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This facility fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
