Facility Inspections
This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent health inspection reports in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Inspection ratings are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. We weren't able to track down information about this nursing home's deficiencies. We wish we had more information about this nursing home. Without having deficiency data, it ended up being difficult to really assess this nursing home in this area.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's higher category scores came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B+. It actually performed better than most nursing homes in this area. In determining our short-term care ratings, we scrutinize the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This grade is generally a reliable measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing grade. We gave this facility an impressive grade of D. Nursing ratings are primarily associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This facility offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This number is significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these datapoints to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was long-term care. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this area, which is an abysmal grade. This is clearly a significant disappointment. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 94.4 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
