Facility Inspections
Although we didn't rate this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent grade in the category of inspections, where it received an A. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility received its second most favorable category score in the category of long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of C in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. Our long-term care scores are crucial for individuals in need of non-healthcare services such as personal care. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to only 90.31008 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Nursing grades are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This particular facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This statistic is well below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our last area, this facility didn't perform very well in this area either. With a poor grade of F in short-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. In our short-term care category, we try to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Given its score in this category, we were not stunned to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
