Long-term Care Quality
Although we gave this facility an abysmal overall score, we gave it a B- for long-term care. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. After we finished assessing the volume of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This facility 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 figure.
Nurse Quality
This facility excelled in the area of nursing, where it earned an B-. Few places fared better in this category. Our nursing rating is primarily tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below average. Finally, nursing scores also consider quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Facility Inspections
Among this facility's alarming category grades was an F for its inspection grade. More often than not, this means we found some red flags on the facility's inspection reports. For places with poor inspection ratings, you should really scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. This particular nursing home was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they created a risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 29 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed was short-term care. We gave it a lowly F in this category, which is a very poor score. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. As you might expect, we found that this nursing home offers significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
