Facility Inspections
Although we didn't rate this nursing home favorably overall, we did give it an excellent grade in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are quite insignificant. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second best area is its long-term care grade, where it received a grade of C. Our long-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of care. This means a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home vaccinated 98.37838 percent of its patients, which is an above average figure. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term care grades are typically employed to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation To offer highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. Considering its score in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this place is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we looked at. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care grade.

We analyzed the levels of nurses working for the facility, as well as the number of hours the nurses worked with patients, in calculating our rating in this area. This nursing home averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these data points to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
