Facility Inspections
While we were not high 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. Our inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of C for our nursing rating. Nursing ratings are primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, although this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this metric.

Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home's third best score was long-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this category, it still fared relatively poorly. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means the nursing home didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 67.97753 percent of its residents. This is pretty significantly below the national average. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was short-term care, turned out to be this facility's weakest area. We gave this facility a D in that category. In the category of short-term care, we seek to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. As you might expect, we found that this place offers significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.3 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below the national average.
