Facility Inspections
To pair with its decent overall grade, we awarded this facility an A- for our inspections rating. This grade is far better than its overall grade. Our inspection grades are tied to several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

One of this nursing home's higher category grades came in the category of long-term care. This proved to be its second best category. In that area, we gave this facility a B-. For patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 98.82006 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations.

Nurse Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. The nursing score analyzes several subcategories, but the main consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is far below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It scored well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care provided.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we scored is short-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this facility a D in this area. Our short-term care scores are crucial for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its poor score in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility offers significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.8 percent of its patients returning home.
