Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent score in the area of inspections, where it received an A-. Inspection ratings are tied to many 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 that have severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next highest area was short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B-. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The important question is whether this also impacted quality of care. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 98.59813 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
