It should be noted that this nursing home's inspection rating outpaced its overall grade. We awarded it a B+ for its inspections grade, which is a very solid score. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Another one of this facility's better category scores was in the category of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B. It actually performed better than most facilities in this area. In our short-term care category, we try to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. When computing our nursing scores, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a relatively low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, while this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this metric.

The last area we looked at was long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a C. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 98.305084 percent of its patients, which is better than most nursing homes. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
