Facility Inspections
A+
Historical
We want to point out that this nursing home outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in this area with an A+. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that 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 should not stop you from considering a nursing home.
Nurse Quality
B-
Historical
We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is primarily tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided just 3.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is far below average. Lastly, we also considered a few quality-based measures in this category. Although this facility didn't rank highly in terms of nursing hours per resident, it performed better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. For example, in terms of the number of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place fared better than the national average. This is generally a good indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented with better nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality
C
Historical
The next best category we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a C. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated only 85 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 1.64 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
F
Historical
The final area we assessed is short-term care. We gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is a poor grade. This is clearly a significant concern. Our short-term care scores are probably most meaningful for folks requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 34.2 percent of its residents returning home.
