Nurse Quality
Part of the reason this proved to be a decent nursing home is it received a very favorable nursing rating. In fact, its nursing score ended up being its best category. In this area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. There are a host of datapoints included in this area. Many of the factors relate to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also performed well in inspections. It received one of our best scores in that category with an B+. Our inspection ratings are tied to pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent government inspections. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is long-term care, where this facility was awarded a C in this area. In the category of long-term care, we look at the quantity of services offered by a nursing home, rather than more medically-intensive services. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 82.46913 percent of its patients. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth category, we gave this facility a grade of D in the area of short-term care. This is the facility's worst category score. Our short-term care grades are arguably more critical for those requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its poor rating in this area, we were not shocked to find this place provided substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
