Facility Inspections
Although we didn't give this facility a good overall grade, we did give it a relatively strong grade in the category of inspections, where it earned a B. Inspection grades weigh several factors, 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 nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
In addition, we also would like to note that this nursing home was awarded positive short-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that area, with a grade of B. This turned out to be the nursing home's second strongest score. Short-term care grades are critical for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional skilled nursing. This means a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
The third area we looked at was long-term care. This nursing home's received a bottom of the barrel long-term care grade where it received a lowly F. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 98.828125 percent of its residents, which is a very solid percentage. 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. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The next category we analyzed was nursing. This nursing home was given a poor grade of F in that area. When determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the number of hours nurses are seeing patients and the levels of training of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
