Facility Inspections
In addition to earning a strong overall score, this nursing home performed even better in our inspections category which is associated with the facility's recent inspections. We gave it an A for this area, which is one of our highest grades. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's quality category grades came in the category of long-term care. We gave them one of our more favorable grades in that area, with a score of B+. For patients in need of a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the factors we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 70.03155 percent of its patients. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital.

In this process, we look at the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.

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.
