Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of A+. Few facilities performed better in this category. Inspection grades are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this area typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a strong long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded them a grade of B in that area, which is one of our more favorable scores. For patients in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 86.41115 percent of its residents. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

This place offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth category, this nursing home really did not perform very well. Due to a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this was its poorest category. In determining our short-term care scores, we scrutinize the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This area is frequently a fair assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation. Considering its grade in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the data we looked at. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
