Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this ended up being a decent facility is it earned a favorable inspection grade. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B+. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's higher category grades came in the category of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B. It actually outpaced most facilities in this area. Our short-term care scores are critical for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. There are numerous criteria within this grade. Many of the datapoints relate to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures. While this place got docked a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this area. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving a resident more often.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at was long-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. This is certainly a significant disappointment. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care likely don't provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes offer. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated only 73.07692 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.05 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best feature in this category.
