Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily something to panic about.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a solid grade in the category of short-term care, where it received a B-. In calculating these short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.

After considering the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
Our last area is nursing, in which we awarded this nursing home a C in this area. In computing our nursing ratings, we assess both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is well below average. Lastly, while this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this metric.
