Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Moving on to the area of long-term care, this nursing home received just a D in this category. Sadly, this proved to be one of its better grades. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is an above average percentage. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital.

This facility offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is short-term care, in which this facility was given a poor score here also. We gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is obviously very concerning. In our short-term care assessment, we strive to forge a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Given its weak rating in this category, we were not stunned to learn this nursing home offered significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. The last metric we considered in this category is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.
