Facility Inspections
This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also received an impressive short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded them a B in that category, which happens to be one of our better. In forming our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. We were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility's third highest area is long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B-. In the category of long-term care, we weigh the amount of care provided by a nursing home, as opposed to more healthcare-oriented services. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
The next area we scored is nursing, proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this area. This really is one of just a couple of weak points on a very solid report card. Our nursing rating weighs many factors, but the paramount one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also looked at some quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This facility was above average in two of the data points we considered, with solid scores for avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
