Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home actually didn't perform quite as poorly in the area of long-term care. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that area. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 98.8764 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. The nursing grade weighs numerous factors. The most heavily weighted factor is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Facility Inspections
This nursing home did not receive favorable inspection reports in recent years. In fact, it only received a grade of D for its inspection grade. Inspection grades weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. You should be more cautious when considering a nursing home that has severe deficiencies on its inspection reports. This particular nursing home was assessed 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we looked at is short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area, which is a very poor grade. With our short-term care assessment, we try to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Based on its score in this area, we were not stunned to find that this facility is well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. Honestly, this was what we expected to find. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3 percent of its patients returning home.
