Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that area, which is one of our highest scores. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. In spite of this deficiency, this was still a relatively favorable inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
One of this facility's more respectable category scores came in the category of long-term care. This wound up being its second most favorable category. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In the area of long-term care, we focus more on the amount of care provided by a nursing home, as opposed to more medically-intensive services. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated only 71.78218 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The final category we looked at is short-term care, in which this facility received an abysmal grade in this area as well. We gave it an F for this area, which is definitely somewhat alarming. In computing our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This area is often a reliable measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. As you might expect, we discovered that this facility offers significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical facility. Finally, we considered the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either.
