Facility Inspections
While we did not rate this nursing home well overall, we want to point out its decent inspection reports in recent years. We awarded it a somewhat respectable score of B- in that category. Inspection grades are tied to pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even with this deficiency, this nursing home still received a relatively positive inspection report.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Nursing ratings are primarily tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. While this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this statistic. This is typically an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving residents more often.

Long-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this facility only earned a D for its long-term care grade, which is well below average in this category. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 91.71974 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is short-term care, ended up being this nursing home's weakest category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that area. Short-term care grades are commonly used to measure a facility's rehabilitation services. To have high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this nursing home provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
