Short-term Care Quality
While we gave this nursing home a poor overall grade, we gave it a fairly respectable score in the area of short-term care, where it received a B-. This was better than some of its other category grades. In the area of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The more important thing is determining what effect this had on quality of care. The final statistic we assessed 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 5.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.
Facility Inspections
We also wanted to point out this nursing home's decent health inspections in recent years. We gave it somewhat respectable grade of C in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. This facility had 5 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in category J, K or L. This means that inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to place patient safety or health in imminent harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.

Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed is long-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is a fair grade in this category. With our long-term care assessment, we focus on the sheer quantity of care provided by a nursing home, as well as a series of quality metrics. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We discovered that this facility provided the vaccine to a relatively low 84.32204 percent of its patients, which is quite a bit lower than we expected. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
