Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it an A for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with a list of deficiencies flagged. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next highest category is its long-term care score, where it was given a grade of C. Our long-term care grade focuses on a nursing home's assistance with daily living rather than the highly skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated only 68.965515 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. There are many datapoints included in this category. Many of the factors are tied to nurse staffing. This facility offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This place fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these datapoints to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we graded is short-term care. It received an abysmal F in this area, which is a bottom of the barrel score. In forming our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
