Facility Inspections
The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. In fact, its inspection score was far superior to its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave this facility a grade of A-. Inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of long-term care, where it received a grade of B-. In determining our long-term care grades, we scrutinize the assistance with daily living offered to a nursing home's residents. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated only 59.79021 percent of its patients for pneumonia. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded its third most favorable category score in the area of short-term care. We awarded this facility a C in this area, which is a decent grade. Short-term care grades are generally employed to gauge a facility's performance with rehabilitation In order to offer high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.7 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.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our last category, we awarded this facility a grade of D for nursing. This was the facility's weakest category grade. Our nursing score assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This place provided a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Unfortunately, this place also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based metrics to go along with its weak nursing hours. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and we were very disappointed. This place was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. This metric helped pull down this nursing home's nursing grade quite a bit.
