Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home highly overall, we want to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A- in this category. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 5 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.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home only received a D for its short-term care score, which was actually one of its more favorable category scores. Our short-term care grades are meaningful for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With a score this poor in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this place was well below average in many staffing metrics we assess. The nursing home supplied far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics sunk this nursing home's short-term care grade.

Nurse Quality
We were surprised to find that this nursing home also excelled in the category of nursing. In fact, we gave it an impressive grade of D for that category, which is one of our best scores. When calculating our nursing ratings, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of the nurses. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this place's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This place fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we rated was long-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's weakest area. We awarded this nursing home a D in this area. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to patient care. After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. We were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated only 79.5122 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
