Facility Inspections
To go along with its decent overall grade, we gave this nursing home an A- for its inspection grade. This grade is far more impressive than its overall grade. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor dings are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a positive grade in short-term care. This nursing home received a B in this category, which turns out to be one of our more impressive scores. In the category of short-term care, we seek to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we considered in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.

The last area we assessed was long-term care. For that category, we awarded this nursing home a C. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 98.58156 percent of its patients. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital.
