Facility Inspections
Although we did not have many favorable things to say about this nursing home's overall score, it did receive a somewhat respectable inspection report this year. It received a decent score in that category with a B-. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
The second highest area we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. Our short-term care ratings are meaningful for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. Nursing ratings are based largely on quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the last area, we gave this facility a D for the area of long-term care. This was the nursing home's weakest category grade. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 89.576546 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
