Facility Inspections
In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, this place also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Not many facilities fared better in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was given an impressive long-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The next area we assessed was short-term care, where this facility was awarded a grade of B- in this category. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. It does not appear that this nursing home submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final item we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's least impressive category was nursing, which is the last category we looked at. For this area, we gave this facility a grade of just D. The nursing grade assesses a handful of factors, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is an alarmingly low total. Although this facility's nursing hours were below average, it actually surprised us in some of the qualitative areas in this category. In particular, we were pleased to find that its patients are suffering fewer pressure ulcers than the national average.
