Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection ratings are based on several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facilities second best category was long-term care. We awarded it a C in this category. This is essentially a slightly below average score in this area. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. We were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 84.56057 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is quite a bit lower than what we expected. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. The nursing rating is based on a handful of datapoints, but the primary consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. 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. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we scored is short-term care. It received an F for this category, which is a poor grade. In calculating these short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. With its grade in this category, we weren't stunned to learn that this place was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
