Facility Inspections
Although this facility's overall score was not a highlight, it actually received a very good grade in the area of inspections. In fact, we gave it a B for that area, which is one of our better scores. Inspection scores are tied to several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid facilities that have severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Not having any deficiencies proved to be this facility's greatest strength.
Short-term Care Quality
The second highest area we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. Short-term care ratings are critical for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing grade focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of training of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. It performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our next area, this nursing home didn't perform very well in this area either. With a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated a relatively low 90.17857 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
