Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent grade in the category of inspections, where it earned an A-. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid places that had a long list of severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. In spite of this deficiency, this was still a relatively positive inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
One of this facility's more respectable category grades came in the area of long-term care. This ended up being its second most favorable category. In that area, we gave this nursing home a C. For patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 91.37931 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

In determining our nursing scores, we weigh both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our fourth category, this facility didn't perform well here either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Given its score in this category, we were not surprised to learn that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the data we assessed. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
