Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home was awarded its second best category grade in the area of short-term care. We gave this nursing home a C in this area, which is an acceptable score. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The more important thing is determining what effect this had on quality of care. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. Our nursing grade looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category, which is an abysmal grade. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility vaccinated 98.88476 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable figure. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
