Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection grade. In fact, its inspection grade was far superior to its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave it an A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also received a favorable grade in our long-term care category. We gave this nursing home a better than average grade of B in this category. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an D. Nursing grades are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was short-term care. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is a very poor grade. This is obviously a major concern. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This rating is often a solid measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this place offers substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. Finally, we considered the number of patients that were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
