Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. 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 usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this facility a B+ in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our higher scores. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are kept in good health. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 90.813644 percent of its residents. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. When computing a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the number of hours nurses are caring for residents as well as the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is an abysmal score. This is certainly a significant concern. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
