Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this turned out to be a decent facility is that it received a favorable inspection grade. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B. Inspection ratings are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

The second highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. Nursing grades are primarily based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
The third area we looked at is short-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of C in this category. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our next area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D for our long-term care category. This was the nursing home's least impressive category score. Facilities that don't score well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility administered the vaccine to only 67.948715 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
