Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's more impressive category grades was in the category of long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B+. It actually performed better than most nursing homes in this area. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 99.62121 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of short-term care, this nursing home was awarded just a D in that category. Short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Based on its grade in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the figures we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected here. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below average.
Nurse Quality
The final area we rated is nursing, which was this facility's least impressive category. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is clearly concerning. Our nursing rating is primarily tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. On top of its weak nursing hour totals, this nursing home also earned suboptimal marks in several of the quality-based measures we considered in calculating our nursing scores. We found that a higher percentage of this nursing home's residents experienced falls which led to major injury. We believe that many falls could likely be avoided with better nursing care. This metric contributed to this facility receiving a terrible nursing grade.
