Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned a favorable inspection score. In that category, we awarded this facility a B+. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. 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 favorable view of this facility's inspections.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also received a favorable grade in our long-term care category. We awarded this facility a better than average grade of B in that area. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 90.12987 percent of its residents for pneumonia. The last statistic we looked at was its hospitalization rate. We found that this place had 2.88 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Although this admittedly wasn't as impressive as most of its other scores in this area, this number can be skewed for some facilities based on some of the preexisting medical conditions of patients.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a score of D. Our nursing score looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This particular place offered a meager 3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This statistic is well below the national average. In addition to receiving below average scores for nursing hours, this facility was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and found this nursing home was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this metric. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that so many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic pulled down this facility's nursing rating substantially.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's least impressive area was short-term care, which is the final category we assessed. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Considering its score in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this place is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We were surprised to find that it performed better in this area, with 53.2 percent of its patients returning home. This was just about this nursing home's sole highlight in this area.
