Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection scores are tied to several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also was awarded a positive short-term care grade. As a matter of fact, we gave it a B in that area, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. It doesn't appear that this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of D. The nursing score assesses several datapoints, most of which are associated with nursing hours. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these metrics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was long-term care, which turned out to be this facility's least impressive area. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this category, which is clearly very concerning. Facilities that do not fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. After we finished assessing the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated only 89.23077 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
