Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively favorable inspections in recent years. We gave it a respectable grade of B+ in this category, which is much better than its overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable area ended up being long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. In computing these long-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's personal care services. After we finished assessing the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 81.0313 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second least favorable category is short-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that area. This is a well below average score. In crafting our short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. With a score of this caliber in this category, we were not surprised to discover this facility was below average in multiple staffing areas we looked at. The facility supplied significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we scored is nursing, which is this nursing home's worst area. We awarded this facility a D in this area. Our nursing grade analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of training of the nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This particular place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This statistic is significantly below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
