Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home highly overall, we want to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's long-term care grade is one of its better scores. The facility was given a C in this area. In the area of long-term care, we focus on the amount of care offered by a nursing home, rather than more sophisticated services. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 98.57143 percent of its patients. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. There are a host of datapoints included in this category. Many of these criteria relate to staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we scored was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. In computing our short-term care ratings, we size up a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is often a solid measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Considering its grade in this area, we were not surprised to find that this place was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the figures we assessed. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. The last item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.6 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
