Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a grade of A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors did not 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 the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next best area is long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the pack score in this area. Our long-term care grades are important for prospective residents in need of personal care. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 99.65398 percent of its residents, which is an above average datapoint. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home ended up receiving a an abysmal grade in our short-term care area. It was given an F in this area. Our short-term care ratings are likely most meaningful for folks needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last metric we considered in this category is the number of patients who returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.7 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The next area we looked at is nursing, where this facility received an abysmal grade here as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is definitely a major disappointment. There are a variety of data points included in this area. Most of the subcategories are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is not a very impressive figure. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These statistics hurt this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
