Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this facility overall, we awarded it an A for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next most respectable category was long-term care, but even there it earned just a D in that category. This ended up being a relatively poor grade. Facilities that do not fare well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 92.72727 percent of its patients. This is somewhat less than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable figure. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second worse category is short-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that category. This is a well below average score. In computing our short-term care scores, we analyze a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is considered to be a meaningful assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services. With a grade this poor for this category, we weren't stunned to learn that this facility was well below average in several staffing figures we focus on. The facility offered significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The next area we looked at is nursing, in which this nursing home received a poor grade in this category as well. We gave it an F in this category, which is definitely somewhat alarming. Nursing grades are based in large part on nurse staffing levels. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this facility's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
