Facility Inspections
This facility's overall grade was propped up by the fact that it has received favorable inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best category was short-term care. We awarded it a C in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack grade in this area. Our short-term care scores are critical for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The more important thing is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

We also awarded this nursing home a middle of the pack score in the category of long-term care, with a grade of C. Long-term care scores are essential for patients in need of non-healthcare services such as personal care. After we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
Our final area is nursing, where we awarded this nursing home a C in that category. In calculating our nursing ratings, we analyze both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is a very low figure. Finally, nursing ratings also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses to assist its patients.
