Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this facility overall, we awarded it a grade of A for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. This particular nursing home received 10 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.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this facility a decent score in the category of long-term care, where it received a C. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 85.59322 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is several points below average. Nevertheless, this place keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, we gave this facility an F for its short-term care grade. In computing our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. With its score in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the figures we assessed. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
The final area we assessed is nursing. This nursing home received a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this category. When calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we weigh the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. On top of receiving below average scores for total nursing hours, this place was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and found that this nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
