Facility Inspections
Although we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall grade, it did receive a respectable government inspection report this year. It received a decent score in that area with a B-. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of the 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. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Long-term Care Quality
The next highest category we gave this facility in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a C. Our long-term care ratings are essential for people in need of non-healthcare services such as personal care. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 73.1884 percent of its patients. This is several points less than the national average. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a decent grade of C. Short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. The facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
The next area we graded was nursing. We awarded it a C in this area. This is not a bad grade in this area. The nursing score is based on quite a few data points, but the most important one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, we also baked a few quality-based metrics into our nursing scores. This facility was subpar in two of the major metrics we look at, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' major falls and pressure ulcers. These areas are often measures of the quality of nursing care available.
