Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, 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. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's short-term care score is one of its better features. The nursing home was awarded a B- in this category. Our short-term care scores are thought to be more critical for those requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a score of D. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is long-term care, which ended up being this facility's weakest category. It received a lowly F for this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 99.570816 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
