Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this place overall, we awarded it a B+ for our inspections category. This score is much better than the facility's overall grade. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid places that have too many deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a positive score in long-term care. This nursing home received a B in this category, which happens to be one of our higher scores. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are well cared for. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only earned a D for its short-term care rating, which is not a score to write home about. In determining our short-term care grades, we size up the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This rating is considered to be a fair measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. With its weak grade in this area, we were not shocked to learn that this facility provides substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
Nurse Quality
The next category we analyzed is nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is a poor score. The nursing category assesses many components, most of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To go along with its below average total nursing hours per patient, this place had poor scores in several of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. For starters, we looked at the percentage of residents experiencing falls leading to serious injury. This nursing home was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
