Facility Inspections
Although we did not have many favorable things to say about this nursing home's overall grade, it earned a somewhat respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in this category with a B-. Inspection scores account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. Nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. In computing a nursing home's nursing score, we look at the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients and the level of skill of those nurses. This facility averages just 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is a very low figure. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this area. This is typically an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of turning patients more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's third most favorable area is short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are likely most critical for folks in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the next area, this facility was awarded a C for long-term care, which is generally a respectable score. Long-term care grades assess a nursing home's assistance with daily living rather than the highly skilled therapy and medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Finally, this facility 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.
