Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. While this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest category came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. In our long-term care rating, we focus more on the sheer volume of services provided by a nursing home, as well as a series of quality statistics. After we finished assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 97.940506 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. Nursing grades are largely associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, although this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did well in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's worst category was short-term care, which is the last area we assessed. It received an abysmal F for this category. Despite several respectable grades in other categories, this score is still concerning so we wanted to make a note of it. Our short-term care grades are arguably most meaningful for patients in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. This means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. In this place's case, it looks like it offers less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 3.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
