Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Nurse Quality
The second highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our nursing score is mostly tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure.

Our long-term care ratings are more critical for folks in need of more traditional services related to activities of daily living. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 98.7013 percent of its patients, which is a very solid figure. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest area was short-term care, which is the final category we analyzed. In this category, we gave this facility a grade of just D. Short-term care ratings are crucial for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We found that this facility was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the data we considered. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents that were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
