Facility Inspections
While we were not very complementary of this nursing home's overall score, it actually received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with an A-. Inspection scores are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of D. Our nursing rating consists of several components, however, the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility averaged just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our long-term care rating. This is well below average in this category. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities provide. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility administered the vaccine to a relatively low 90.46154 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we scored is short-term care, in which this nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel score in this area as well. Sadly, it received an F in this category, which is obviously a major concern. Our short-term care scores are important for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Based on its poor rating in this category, we were not surprised to find this facility provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The final item we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.6 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below average.
