Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 4 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.
Nurse Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. Nursing grades are largely tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home's third highest score was long-term care. However, with a D in this category, it still fared somewhat badly. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care likely don't provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities provide. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home gave the vaccine to a relatively low 84.210526 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we scored is short-term care. We gave it a lowly F in this category, which is a rock bottom score. In crafting our short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. With its poor grade in this area, we weren't stunned to find that this facility offers substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most nursing homes. The final item we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics sunk this facility's short-term care score.
