Facility Inspections
To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A- for our inspections rating. This grade is far better than the facility's overall grade. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's higher category grades was in the area of long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B+. It actually outpaced most nursing homes in this category. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 96.93758 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a life or death illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Tragically, this facility received an F for its short-term care grade. In determining our short-term care scores, we scrutinize a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is considered to be a meaningful assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Not surprisingly, we learned that this facility offers far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average nursing home. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care score.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to our final category, this nursing home didn't fare very well. Due to an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is its poorest area. The nursing rating assesses several factors, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This facility offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Unfortunately, this nursing home also had abysmal marks in some of the quality-based measures to go along with its weak nursing hours. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and we were very disappointed. This facility was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this measure. This is a bad sign when you consider that so many pressure ulcers could be avoided with better nursing care. This statistic helped pull down this nursing home's nursing rating quite a bit.
