Facility Inspections
While we gave this nursing home a poor overall score, we gave it a B for our inspections category. This is the result of the nursing home receiving a quality inspection report this year. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
We were also stunned to find that this nursing home received a solid long-term care rating this year. We awarded it a grade of B- in that area. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. We were a bit alarmed this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 72.79412 percent of its residents. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Our nursing rating includes many datapoints, but the most important one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. 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. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed is short-term care, where this facility was given a poor grade in this category as well. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this area, which is definitely very concerning. Our short-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
