Facility Inspections
The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection grade. Its inspection score was far better than its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A-. Our inspection scores are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category grades was in the area of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.73684 percent of its residents, which is more than most nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing grade. We gave this facility an D. We assessed the levels of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses were with residents, in determining our grade in this area. This nursing home averaged only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This place fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's worst area is short-term care, which is the last area we analyzed. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this category. In spite of some solid scores in other categories, this grade is nevertheless of a concern so we felt obligated to point it out. Our short-term care scores are vital for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing. This includes a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its abysmal grade in this area, we were not surprised to find that this facility offers far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
