Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home excelled in the category of short-term care, with an A- in this category. This really boosted its overall score. In forming these short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
This nursing home also performed well in inspections. It received one of our highest grades in that area with a score of B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Our nursing score assesses the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. 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. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we rated was long-term care, proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a D in this category. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.32886 percent of its patients, which is an above average total. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
