Facility Inspections
It should be noted that this facility's inspection rating outpaced its overall grade. We gave it a B+ for its inspections grade, which is a very solid score. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we gave this facility an C. Our nursing score considers a variety of subcategories. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a relatively low total compared with most facilities. Finally, although this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable area is long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a C. Our long-term care grade is commonly used to assess a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a skilled nursing facility. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 96.27907 percent of its residents. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the fourth category, we awarded this nursing home a D in short-term care. This is the facility's least impressive category grade. Our short-term care grade is often employed to measure a facility's rehabilitation services. To have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage 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 5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
