Facility Inspections
This nursing home earned 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. Inspection grades are based on several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility an impressive score in long-term care. This nursing home received a grade of B+ in this category, which is one of our more favorable scores. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 91.57895 percent of its patients, which is a bit less than we were hoping for. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. Our nursing grade assesses quite a few factors, however, the paramount one 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. Lastly, our nursing scores also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed is short-term care. We gave this facility a D in short-term care, making this the facility's worst area. Short-term care grades are generally employed to grade a facility's rehabilitation services. To offer highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. We found that this place was subpar in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we looked at. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
