Facility Inspections
Although this facility's overall score was not a highlight, it received a somewhat respectable score in the category of inspections. We awarded it a B- for this area, which is a decent score. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an B-. In determining our nursing scores, we assess both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, nursing ratings also consider quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 96.36364 percent of its patients. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed was short-term care. This facility was given a C for the category. In determining our short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to create a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last item we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that just 3.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
