Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid nursing homes that had a long list of severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
One of this facility's higher category grades was in the category of long-term care. This turned out to be its second most favorable category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. With our long-term care category, we focus more on the volume of services provided by a nursing home, along with some qualitative datapoints. One of the criteria we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 96.15385 percent of its patients. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

This nursing home's second lowest category is short-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that area. This is a well below average score. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. With its score in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our fourth area, we awarded this nursing home a D for nursing. This was the nursing home's weakest category score. Our nursing score weighs many data points, but the main consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility offered a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these data points to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
