Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that category, with an A+. This is a notably better score than the place's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facilities next most favorable area was long-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the pack score in this area. Our long-term care ratings are based on a facility's volume of care. This means a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing rating. In fact, we gave this nursing home an D. In computing our nursing grades, we assess both nursing hours and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at was short-term care, which turned out to be this facility's worst category. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this category, which is clearly very concerning. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is frequently a meaningful measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Based on its grade in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Honestly, this was what we expected to find. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.3 percent of its residents returning home.
