Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's short-term care rating turns out to be one of its respectable grades. The facility was awarded a C in this category. Short-term care grades are typically employed to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The key is determining what effect this had on quality of care. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality
We were surprised to find that this facility also excelled in nursing. In fact, we gave it an impressive grade of D for that category, which is one of our highest grades. In determining our nursing grades, we look at both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of the nurses. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we looked at was long-term care. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this category, which is a rock bottom grade. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility provided the vaccine to 97.87234 percent of its patients, which is an above average figure. Surprisingly, this place also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
