Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we awarded this facility an A+ for its inspection grade. This score is far better than its overall score. Our inspection scores weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next best area we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Long-term care grades are critical for individuals needing non-healthcare services such as personal care. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.54722 percent of its residents. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. The nursing score analyzes a handful of components, but the main one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics. Although this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did very well in this statistic. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a protocol of turning residents at least once a day.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we assessed is short-term care, which ended up being a weak spot for this facility. We awarded this nursing home a D for the area of short-term care. Short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Based on its poor rating in this area, we were not shocked to discover this nursing home provided far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.8 percent of its residents returning home.
