Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place really excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A. Few facilities performed better in this area. Our inspection scores are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to an additional strength for this nursing home, we gave it a very strong long-term care score. Indeed, we awarded this nursing home a score of A-.

Once we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 94.863014 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a life threatening illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home does not leave this to chance.

Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing rating. In fact, we gave this facility an impressive grade of D. Nursing scores are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the next category, we gave this nursing home a grade of D in our short-term care category. This is the facility's worst category rating. Naturally, this grade hurt the nursing home's overall grade a bit. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care grade.
