Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable category was short-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this area. This is basically a slightly below average score in this category. Short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 3.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's worst area was long-term care, which is the last area we assessed. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area. In spite of multiple solid scores in other categories, this grade is still concerning so we would like to to point it out. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities provide. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated only 70.623146 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best feature in this category.
