Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's long-term care rating is one of its higher scores. The facility was awarded a B- in this area. With our long-term care assessment, we focus more on the sheer volume of services offered by a facility, as well as a series of quality datapoints. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home vaccinated 98.5755 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable total. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. There are several factors included in this area. Most of these factors are tied to nurse staffing. This place provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel score. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services. To offer highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. With its abysmal score in this category, we weren't shocked to find this nursing home provided significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
