In determining our short-term care grades, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This area is often a reliable measure of a facility's rehabilitation services. We were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

The last category we looked at was inspections. Unfortunately, this facility didn't receive glowing inspections in recent years. We had to give it an F in this area. Since this data is collected by independent government inspectors, we heavily weight a poor performance in this area. This really dragged down this facility's overall grade. With nursing homes that received this poor of an inspection grade, we recommend scrutinizing any severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This nursing home had 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a risk to resident safety or health.

This often suggests that a poor performance has been an issue for more than one year.
