Facility Inspections
While this nursing home received a decent overall rating, its inspections rating is notably better than its overall grade. Due to a strong health inspection report this year, it received one of our better scores in that category with a B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This facilities second most favorable category was long-term care. We awarded it a B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the pack grade in this area. In our long-term care grade, we assess the sheer volume of care offered by a nursing home, along with a few qualitative datapoints. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. Our nursing rating assesses many subcategories, but the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this subcategory. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of turning residents more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we scored was short-term care, is this facility's worst category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that category. Our short-term care scores are arguably more important for patients in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Considering its score in this area, we were not stunned to discover that this place is well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the data we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below the national average.
