Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent score in the category of inspections, where it earned an A-. Inspection ratings are based on many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. This particular nursing home received 7 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
We also awarded this nursing home a decent grade in the area of long-term care, with a grade of C. Our long-term care grade is used to judge a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 94.04467 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations.

In calculating our short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is generally a fair measure of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. With a score this poor in this category, we were not stunned to discover that this facility was below average in the two key staffing figures we assess. It provided far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
Moving on to our final area, this nursing home really didn't perform well in this category either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in nursing, this is really as terrible as it gets. Our nursing score considers a host of data points. The most heavily weighted variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
