Facility Inspections
This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this nursing home's higher category grades was in the area of short-term care. This ended up being its second best category. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. Our short-term care scores are probably most important for patients requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who returned home from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.

Long-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this facility only earned a grade of D for its long-term care score, which is not one of our better scores. For residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is higher than most nursing homes. To our surprise, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to the final area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D in the area of nursing. This is the facility's least impressive category grade. Nursing ratings are based in large part on quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
