Facility Inspections
The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection grade. In fact, its inspection grade was far better than its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility a grade of A+. Inspection scores are based on several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a strong score in long-term care. This facility earned a B in this category, which is one of our more impressive grades. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 93.11475 percent of its residents. This is slightly less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a middle of the road score in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a C. Our short-term care grades are presumably most critical for people requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the next area, we gave this facility a grade of D for our nursing category. This is the nursing home's weakest category rating. Sadly, this grade pulled down the nursing home's overall grade to some degree. Our nursing score analyzes many data points, however, the main consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. With only 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this facility's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This place performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
