Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically have few severe deficiencies. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few relatively minor dings are not something to panic about.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best area turned out to be long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B-. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 98.84393 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. Our nursing rating is based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, while this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this statistic.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is short-term care. For that category, we awarded this facility a C. Our short-term care scores are believed to be most important for folks needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
