Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this place's overall performance, it actually received an impressive inspection report this year with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that category with a B+. Our inspection grades are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility an impressive score in short-term care. This nursing home received a grade of B in this category, which happens to be one of our better grades. Short-term care ratings are critical for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home, which as an area this nursing home performed much more favorably. We found that it outperformed the vast majority of nursing homes in the nation with 63.6 percent of its patients returning home. This is a significantly higher rate than most nursing homes.

This facility vaccinated 99.40829 percent of its patients, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 1.31 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the next category, this nursing home really did not perform well here either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. The nursing score weighs quite a few data points, many of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 2.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. On top of receiving below average scores for total nursing hours, this facility was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and found this place was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this metric.
