Although we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Inspection ratings are tied to items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities that have severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

This facility's second highest area was short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a C. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. The last measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

This facility vaccinated 47.348484 percent of its patients. This is significantly below average. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

The last area we graded was nursing, which is a weak spot for this facility. We gave this facility a grade of D in our nursing category. Our nursing score includes a handful of subcategories, but the most important one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. In addition to receiving below average scores for total nursing hours, this nursing home was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of residents suffering pressure ulcers and found this place was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this metric.
