Facility Inspections
This nursing home's overall score was propped up by the fact that it has received favorable health inspections in recent years. We awarded them a strong score in that category, with a B+. This is a notably better score than the nursing home's overall score. Inspection scores weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Nurse Quality
This facility's second best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is largely tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is far below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality
The third highest area we gave this facility in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. It doesn't look like this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Our next area is long-term care, where we awarded this facility a grade of B- in that area. Long-term care grades assess a facility's personal care rather than the highly skilled nursing or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is a very solid percentage. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
