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. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's higher category scores was in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B+. For patients seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 84.495026 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing rating. We gave this facility a score of D. Nursing grades are tied to nurse staffing levels. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we rated is short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this category, which is an abysmal score. This is obviously a major concern. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to measure a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Considering its grade in this area, we were not surprised to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
