Long-term Care Quality
Although we didn't rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively favorable long-term care rating this year. We gave it a B in this area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
We were also pleasantly surprised to award this facility a relatively favorable inspection grade as well. We gave it a B- in this category, which was much better than its overall score. Inspection grades are based on pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 10 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Our short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Based on its score in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this facility is well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the figures we looked at. The final item we considered in this category is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the next category, we gave this facility a grade of D for our nursing category. This was the nursing home's least impressive category grade. Our nursing score focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this place's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
