Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this facility favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent score in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's long-term care grade turns out to be one of its more favorable grades. The nursing home received a grade of C in this area. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 90.05848 percent of its residents. This is pretty significantly less than average. Nevertheless, this facility excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this facility a grade of just D for our short-term care grade. This is not an impressive grade. Our short-term care scores are probably most important for residents in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. With its abysmal score in this category, we weren't stunned to find this place provided far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics doomed this facility's short-term care grade.
Nurse Quality
The next area we rated was nursing. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this category, which is a rock bottom score. The nursing rating assesses several factors, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This place fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
