Facility Inspections
In addition to receiving a great overall score, this facility performed even better in our inspections category which is associated with the facility's recent inspection reports. We awarded it an A+ for that area, which is one of our highest grades. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, this nursing home also received favorable long-term care grades in our assessment. Indeed, we gave it one of our better scores in that category, with a grade of B. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 98.44156 percent of its patients. This is a proven method to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the elderly population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a middle of the road grade in the area of short-term care, where it received a B-. Our short-term care grades are considered to be more important for folks in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
Nurse Quality
The last category we graded is nursing, which proved to be this facility's least impressive area. We gave this facility a D in this area. Sadly, this grade hurt the facility's overall grade a bit. Our nursing rating consists of quite a few components, but the main one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular facility offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This number is far below the national average. Although this place didn't excel in nursing hours, it surprised us in some of the quality-based metrics in the nursing category, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed better than average in this statistic, which was one redeeming quality we found in this area.
