Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second most favorable area ended up being long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B-. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated just 85.14285 percent of its residents for pneumonia. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we gave this nursing home an F. This is certainly not one of this facility's better areas. Nursing ratings are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest category was short-term care, which is the final area we scored. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this area. In spite of a few solid scores in other categories, this grade is still of a concern so we would like to to make sure you are aware. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
