Facility Inspections
The primary reason this facility received a decent overall score is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in that category, with an A. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection ratings are based on several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best area turned out to be long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Long-term care grades assess a facility's personal care rather than the highly skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. Our nursing score analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it scored well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is a poor score. This is certainly a significant concern. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics doomed this nursing home's short-term care score.
