Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's higher category grades came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a B. It actually outperformed most facilities in this category. For residents seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 65.18519 percent of its patients. This is somewhat less than we anticipated. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home only earned a D for its short-term care score, which is not a very good score. Our short-term care grades are crucial for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. With a grade in this range in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this nursing home was well below average in multiple staffing figures we assess. In fact, it supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 5.4 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The final area we assessed is nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. This is clearly a significant disappointment. We weighed the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses worked with patients, in determining our score in this category. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
