Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this facility favorably overall, we did give it an excellent score in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with a bunch of severe deficiencies flagged. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
The second most favorable category we awarded this facility in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a C. Long-term care ratings are pivotal for people requiring personal care.

We found that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 89.87854 percent of its patients, which is quite a bit lower than we expected.

Moving on to the area of short-term care, this nursing home was awarded just a D in that category. Our short-term care grades are arguably most important for people needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Based on its poor grade in this area, we weren't surprised to discover that this nursing home provides substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below average.
Nurse Quality
The final category we scored was nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is a very poor grade. Our nursing grade includes a host of factors. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
