Facility Inspections
The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that category, with a grade of A-. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Inspection scores are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. We wish we had more data for this nursing home. Without having deficiency related data, it is challenging to assess this nursing home in this area.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's more favorable category scores came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B+. It actually outpaced most nursing homes in this category. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 97.163994 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a life or death health condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't take any chances. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing score. We gave this nursing home an D. The nursing grade consists of many factors, but the most important consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This statistic is far below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest area was short-term care, which is the final area we analyzed. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area. Even with a few decent scores in other areas, this grade is still disappointing so we wanted to make a note of it. In computing our short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is typically a useful measure of a facility's rehabilitation services. Given its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 5.1 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.
