Facility Inspections
Although we didn't give this place a good overall grade, we did give it a relatively strong grade in the category of inspections, where it received a B. Our inspection grades are tied to several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of C. Our nursing rating is primarily associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day.

On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility administered the vaccine to 97.76786 percent of its residents, which is a very solid figure. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations.

We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. The final item we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
