Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this nursing home really outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that area with an A. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
One of this facility's more respectable category grades was in the area of long-term care. This proved to be its second most favorable category. In that area, we awarded this facility a B-. For prospective residents seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 99.72299 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is better than most nursing homes. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

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 B-. Our nursing score weighs a handful of factors, however, the main consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth category, this facility was awarded an acceptable short-term care score of C. In computing our short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. We weren't able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below average.
