Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that area, which is one of our best scores. Inspection scores are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second most favorable area came in the area of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. Our short-term care grade is typically used to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. There are a number of criteria included in this category. Many of these subcategories relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, nursing ratings also consider quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the final category, this nursing home really did not fare very well in this category either. Due to a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is really as bad as it gets. Nursing homes that don't score well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated 80 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be several points lower than what we expected. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
