You generally want to avoid nursing homes with too many severe deficiencies flagged. This particular nursing home received 4 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.

Nurse Quality
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. In computing a facility's nursing score, we look at the amount of time nurses are seeing residents as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the next category, this facility did not fare well in this area either. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. Short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Considering its poor grade in this area, we were not shocked to find that this facility offered significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
