Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this nursing home's overall grade, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with an A. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid places that have a long list of deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Nursing grades are primarily based on a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 2.8 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 quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home was above average in two of the major statistics we focus on, with solid scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second lowest score was long-term care, where it received just a D in that category. This is a well below average score. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 97.912315 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.84 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we scored was short-term care, where this facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade in this category as well. It received an F in this area, which is definitely very concerning. In forming these short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 42.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
