Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we awarded this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. This is far more impressive than its overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
One of this nursing home's more favorable category grades came in the area of long-term care. This turned out to be its second most favorable category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a C. Our long-term care ratings are more critical for individuals requiring more traditional assistance associated with personal care. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to a relatively low 89.62264 percent of its residents, which is slightly concerning. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. There are quite a few criteria within this grade. Many of the factors are tied to the quantity of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is far below average. Finally, while this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this subcategory.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is short-term care, which is a weak spot for this facility. We gave this nursing home a grade of D for the area of short-term care. Our short-term care scores are considered to be more critical for individuals needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. As you might expect, we learned that this place provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 5.3 percent of its patients returning home.
