Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A- in this category. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid nursing homes with a list of deficiencies flagged. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
The second most favorable area we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. With our long-term care rating, we analyze the quantity of care offered by a facility, as well as a few quality measures. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 97.93104 percent of its residents, which is an above average figure. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The next area we analyzed was short-term care. This facility received an abysmal grade of F in that area. Short-term care grades are typically used to grade a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 3.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
