Facility Inspections
While we did not rate this place favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively solid health inspections in recent years. We gave it a respectable grade of B in this area, which was much better than its overall grade. Inspection ratings are based on several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities that have severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies 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 facility's next highest area ended up being its short-term care grade, where it was given a grade of C. Short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The important question is whether this adversely impacted quality of care. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that just 5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

This particular nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed several nursing quality measures. Although this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this subcategory. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning residents more frequently.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our final area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D in the area of long-term care. This is the facility's least impressive category rating. Facilities that don't fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 76.16279 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
