This means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. One of this nursing home's strengths is physical therapy hours. We found that it offers more hours with physical therapists to its residents than most facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that returned home from this nursing home. We found that it fared better than most facilities in the nation with 55.8 percent of its patients returning home.

This facility really excelled in the area of nursing, where it earned an C. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. Nursing scores are primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides an impressive 4.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. This facility performed admirably in this subcategory. Avoiding serious falls is often a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Some falls can be prevented if a nursing home offers enough nurses to assist its patients.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home ended up receiving a a very poor score in our long-term care area. It was given an F in this area. Facilities that don't score well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 92.093025 percent of its residents. This is a few points lower than we were hoping for but still a decent figure. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.66 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
Facility Inspections
Moving on the last category of inspections, this nursing home really did not fare well. It received an F in our inspection rating. For nursing homes with poor inspection scores, you should scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular nursing home had 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 13 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
