Facility Inspections
To pair with its decent overall score, we awarded this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. This score is far better than its overall score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. Unfortunately, it does not look like we were able to find deficiency data for this nursing home. Without having the deficiency data for this nursing home, it was a challenge to really evaluate the place in terms of this category.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. Our nursing score is primarily tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, our nursing grades also consider quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to offer good rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this category is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Our next category is long-term care, where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this category. In the area of long-term care, we focus more on the amount of care provided by a facility, as opposed to more sophisticated services. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
