Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a grade of B for our inspections category. This grade is much more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with a bunch of severe deficiencies flagged. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Nurse Quality
We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing score is largely associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable category is long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this area. This is essentially a middle of the pack grade in this category. Long-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of care. This means a broad range of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine medical services. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We found that this nursing home administered the vaccine to a relatively low 81.96202 percent of its residents, which is several points lower than we expected. Nevertheless, this facility excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed is short-term care. This nursing home was given a poor grade of F in that category. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. As you might expect, we discovered that this place provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical facility. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care score.
