Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid places with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. This particular nursing home received 6 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.
Short-term Care Quality
One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of short-term care. This turned out to be its second most favorable category. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are often used to measure a facility's rehabilitation services. To offer highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. We assessed the licensure of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in determining our grade in this category. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below average. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our fourth area, this facility did not fare well here either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 98.039215 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
