While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection scores are based on datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 9 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

Grade: B-minus

This facility was given its next best category grade in the area of short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this category, which is a respectable score. With our short-term care grade, we strive to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This facility's next best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. Nursing scores are based largely on quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these metrics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final area we scored is long-term care, ended up being this facility's worst category. We gave this nursing home a D in that area. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 98.809525 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
