Facility Inspections
To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home an A- for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than its overall score. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's more impressive category scores came in the category of short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B+. It actually performed better than most nursing homes in this area. Our short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In calculating our nursing grades, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a low total compared with most other facilities. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we graded is long-term care. We gave it a lowly F for this area, which is a rock bottom grade. This is clearly a significant disappointment. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 99.48849 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
