Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A-. Few facilities performed better in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also was given a positive short-term care score. In fact, we awarded them a grade of B+ in this area, which is one of our more favorable scores. Short-term care grades are important for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. The nursing rating consists of many components, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below average. Lastly, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was long-term care. We gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel score. This is obviously a major concern. Long-term care scores in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We found that this nursing home gave the vaccine to only 71.428566 percent of its patients, which is several points lower than we expected. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
