Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection scores are based on several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This particular nursing home received 6 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
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we gave this facility an C. Nursing ratings are based in large part on quantity of nursing care available. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. 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 offered.

Short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this nursing home offers substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. The final measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home.

The next area we graded was long-term care, which is this facility's weakest area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that area. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 94.38596 percent of its residents, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
