Facility Inspections
It should be noted that this nursing home's inspection score outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for its inspections grade, which is a very solid score. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's third most favorable area is short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In computing these short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The real question is whether this also impacted quality of care. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at was long-term care, which ended up being a low point for this nursing home. We awarded this facility a grade of D in our long-term care category. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 97.297295 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
