Facility Inspections
This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent health inspection reports in recent years. We gave them an A in this category. Inspection scores are based on many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this area typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In determining our nursing ratings, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This particular nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is far below the national average. Finally, while this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based measures.

This nursing home was given its next highest category score in the area of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a C in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. Our short-term care ratings are meaningful for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our next category, this facility didn't fare very well. Due to a poor grade of F in long-term care, this was its worst category grade. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means the nursing home didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated just 78.68852 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
