Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we awarded this facility a grade of A- for its inspection grade. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
Adding to this facility's list of strengths, it also received an excellent nursing rating. We awarded them an impressive grade of B- in this area. Our nursing grade looks at the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, although this place got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it did very well in this area.

After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 99.55947 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at is short-term care, turned out to be this facility's least impressive category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this area. In calculating our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is more often than not a fair assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics sunk this nursing home's short-term care grade.
