Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to draw your attention to its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid places that had too many deficiencies. This facility was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this facility an D. Nursing scores are primarily associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility only earned a D for its short-term care score, which is not a very good score. Short-term care grades are generally employed to grade a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Given its score in this area, we weren't surprised to find that this place was well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return home from this facility. 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. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we graded was long-term care, which ended up being a weak link for this facility. We gave this facility a grade of just D for the area of long-term care. Facilities that don't fare well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. As it turns out, this nursing home gave the vaccine to only 44.534412 percent of its residents, which is not a very encouraging sign. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
