Facility Inspections
The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection grade. Its inspection score was far superior to its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave it a grade of A. Inspection scores are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

This facility's second highest area is its long-term care score, where it received a B-. In computing our long-term care grades, we scrutinize the personal care offered to a nursing home's patients. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital.

Nurse Quality
Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing score. In fact, we gave this facility an impressive grade of D. The nursing score is based on many datapoints. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed is short-term care, is this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that category. With our short-term care score, we seek to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. With a grade of this caliber for this category, we weren't shocked to discover that this nursing home was well below average in several staffing figures we assess. It supplied significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The final metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care grade.
