Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher grades in that category, with an A. This is a much better score than the place's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also would like to point out that this nursing home was awarded a strong long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it one of our most impressive scores in that area with a grade of A-. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 94.73684 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia can be a dangerous health condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing rating. In fact, we gave this facility a grade of D. The nursing rating features a variety of subcategories. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This place performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we graded was short-term care, is this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this category. This was one of the few weak links on a quality profile. In computing these short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. We found that this nursing home was below average in several staffing metrics we focus on. In fact, it supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
