Facility Inspections
While we graded this place incredibly poorly overall, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our more favorable grades in that area with a B+. Our inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with a list of deficiencies flagged. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Remarkably, we gave this facility a grade of C for its short-term care rating, which isn't a bad grade. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. The final item we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Our nursing score includes many subcategories, however, the primary consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this place's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

The last category we looked at is long-term care. This facility received a rock bottom grade of F in that category. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated only 84.98024 percent of its patients for pneumonia.
