The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection grade. In fact, its inspection grade was far better than its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave this facility a grade of A-. Inspection scores are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. 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 had positive view of this facility's recent inspections.

Additionally, we gave this facility a B+ in our short-term care category. This is one of our higher grades. Short-term care grades are generally employed to grade a facility's rehabilitation services. To have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing rating. We gave this facility a grade of D. We weighed the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time the nurses were with residents, in determining our grade in this area. This particular facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is quite a bit below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

The final category we scored is long-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is a rock bottom score. This is obviously a major concern. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We discovered that this facility vaccinated only 83.82979 percent of its residents, which is somewhat concerning. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
