Facility Inspections
To go along with its relatively modest overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A- for its inspection grade. This grade is far better than the facility's overall rating. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we still had a generally positive view of this facility's recent inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+ in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our more impressive scores. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is more than the average nursing home. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

When computing our nursing scores, we weigh both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was short-term care, which was this facility's worst category. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this category, which is certainly very concerning. Our short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Based on its score in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this place was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the figures we assessed. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
