Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this nursing home overall, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a decent grade in the category of long-term care, where it received a grade of C. Our long-term care grades are meaningful for prospective residents seeking non-healthcare services such as personal care. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home administered the vaccine to a relatively low 82.01285 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this nursing home excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Our nursing rating is based on a number of subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This place provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is well below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the last category, we gave this facility a grade of D in short-term care. This is the nursing home's worst category grade. Our short-term care grade is often used to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To offer highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.1 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.
