Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection ratings are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. While this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

In calculating these long-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. We looked at the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the number of hours those nurses were with patients, in computing our rating in this area. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we scored was short-term care. We gave it an F in this area, which is a poor score. Our short-term care scores are critical for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With its score in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we looked at. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 3.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
