Facility Inspections
This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's better category grades came in the category of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a B+. Our short-term care grades are probably most meaningful for those in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a relatively low total compared with most facilities. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our next category, we gave this nursing home a grade of D for our long-term care category. This was the facility's weakest category grade. Of course, this category pulled down the facility's overall grade a bit. For residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
