Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. Its inspection grade was far better than its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A-. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received a strong short-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it one of our best scores in this area with a score of A-. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the last area, this facility did not perform very well. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this is this nursing home's poorest grade. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. Once we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinates 97.56098 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
