Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
One of this facility's better category scores was in the area of long-term care. This ended up being its second most respectable category. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. Our long-term care grades are based in part on a facility's volume of nursing services. This means a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.66555 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. The nursing grade considers a variety of datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was short-term care, ended up being this facility's weakest category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. In the category of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Based on its grade in this area, we weren't surprised to discover that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
