Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection ratings are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. This facility was hit with 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
The next best category we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. In computing these long-term care grades, we assess the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated 46.20253 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be several points less than the national average. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
In our next category, we gave this nursing home a rock-bottom F in the area of short-term care. In our short-term care category, we attempt to create a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Based on its weak grade in this area, we weren't shocked to learn this place provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately returned 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 last category we graded is nursing. We gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is a rock bottom score. Nursing grades are largely associated with the nursing home's 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. On top of ranking below average in nursing hours per resident, this facility also had poor scores in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This place was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in both of these data points. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These statistics helped pull down this nursing home's nursing grade quite a bit.
