Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B+ for our inspections category. This score is much more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
The next highest area we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Long-term care scores are based on the nursing home's volume of care. This means a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Nursing grades are based in large part on quantity of nursing care available. This facility provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we scored is short-term care, which was a weak spot for this facility. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in the area of short-term care. In forming our short-term care scores, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Considering its score in this category, we weren't surprised to find that this place is well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Frankly, this was what we expected here. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
