Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B for our inspections category. This score is much better than the facility's overall score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility also received an impressive short-term care score. In fact, we awarded them a B in that area, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. In computing our short-term care grades, we assess a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This category is generally a useful measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. We weren't able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. There are quite a few datapoints within this area. Most of the subcategories relate to staffing levels. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures. Although this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of these quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this subcategory. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving a patient even once per day.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was long-term care. This nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in that area. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it generally means the nursing home did not perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 84.210526 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
