Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent score in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid facilities that had too many deficiencies. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its second most favorable category grade in the area of long-term care. We awarded this facility a C in this area, which is a decent grade. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility gave the vaccine to 97.297295 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable total. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home just a D for our short-term care score. This is not a score to write home about. Our short-term care scores are believed to be more critical for people in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. With a score of this caliber in this area, we were not stunned to learn this place was below average in two of the key staffing figures we assess. In fact, it provided far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we rated is nursing. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is a very poor grade. When determining our nursing scores, we factor in both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
