Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that area, which is one of our best scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best area was its short-term care grade, where it was given a grade of B-. In forming these short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to create a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The real question is whether this adversely affected quality of care. The final item we considered in this area is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Nurse Quality
We were surprised to find that this facility also excelled in nursing. In fact, we gave it a grade of D for that category, which is one of our highest scores. When calculating our nursing scores, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home provided only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these datapoints to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we scored is long-term care. It received an abysmal F in this area, which is a rock bottom score. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
