Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this facility outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest scores in that category with an A+. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically have very few 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Grade: B
Additionally, we gave this facility a B in our short-term care category. This is one of our more impressive grades. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality
Grade: C
This nursing home's next highest category is long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a C. In the category of long-term care, we focus more on the quantity of care provided by a facility, as opposed to more healthcare-oriented services. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 99.44752 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Nurse Quality
Grade: D
The next category we rated was nursing, which proved to be this facility's least impressive area. We gave this facility a D in this area. Unfortunately, this score hurt the facility's overall grade a bit. Our nursing category is based on quite a few factors, many of which are associated with nursing hours. With just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these statistics pulled down this nursing home's nursing grade quite a bit.
