Facility Inspections
While we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively favorable health inspections in recent years. We gave it a B in this category, which was much better than its overall score. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid nursing homes that had a long list of deficiencies. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. The lack of deficiencies is this facility's greatest accomplishment.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's short-term care rating ended up being one of its higher features. The nursing home was given a grade of B- in this area. Short-term care scores are important for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This means a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The more important thing is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.

Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of long-term care, this nursing home was awarded just a D in this area. For residents looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 99.462364 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our next category, this facility really didn't perform well in this area either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is really as bad as it gets. We looked at the qualifications of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of time the nurses spent with patients, in computing our grade in this area. This place averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. This nursing home also had terrible marks in several of the quality-based measures to go along with its low nursing hour totals. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers. This facility was at more than twice the national average in this metric.
