Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection grades weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next best area we gave this facility in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In the category of long-term care, we focus on the quantity of services provided by a facility, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. Once we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 84.91484 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a score of D. In computing a facility's nursing rating, we consider the amount of time nurses are seeing residents as well as the levels of training 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. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we rated is short-term care, which was this nursing home's worst area. It received a lowly F in this category, which is obviously a major concern. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. With a grade of this caliber in this area, we weren't shocked to find this nursing home was well below average in multiple staffing areas we focus on. The facility offered substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
