Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this facility highly overall, we want to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its next best category grade in the category of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is an acceptable grade. Our long-term care grade assesses a facility's assistance with daily living rather than the highly skilled therapy or medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second lowest score was short-term care, where it earned just a D in that area. This is a relatively poor score. In determining our short-term care grades, we size up a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This rating is frequently a reliable assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below the national average.
Nurse Quality
The next category we rated is nursing, where this facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade here also. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this category, which is obviously a major concern. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with quantity of nursing care available. This facility offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
