Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this facility overall, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next most favorable area was its short-term care grade, where it received a B-. In crafting our short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The tricky part is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This particular place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is long-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this category, which is an abysmal grade. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinates 99.11111 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
