Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home received its next best category score in the category of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a B- in this category, which is a respectable score. In our long-term care rating, we focus on the quantity of services provided by a facility, as well as some quality statistics. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an D. When determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are with patients and the skill levels of those nurses. This place provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these metrics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we scored is short-term care, which turned out to be this facility's worst area. We gave it a lowly F for this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. Short-term care scores are crucial for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the figures we assessed. Honestly, this was about what we expected here. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.2 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.
