Facility Inspections
Although this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually received a very good grade in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home received 5 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.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this nursing home's better category scores was in the category of short-term care. This wound up being its second most respectable category. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. In determining our short-term care ratings, we look at a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is more often than not a useful measure of the facility's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The more important thing is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. The last item we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility.

The last category we assessed was long-term care, where this facility received a very poor score in this category as well. We gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is obviously somewhat alarming. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
