Facility Inspections
Although we didn't give this place a good overall grade, we did give it a relatively strong grade in the area of inspections, where it received a B. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's higher category scores came in the category of short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B. It actually fared better than most nursing homes in this area. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Our nursing rating consists of several components, however, the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is long-term care, which is this nursing home's weakest area. We gave this nursing home a D in this area. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated just 44.525547 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
