Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it performed well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. It does not look like we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. We wish we had more information about this nursing home. Without all of the deficiency data, it was a challenge to assess this facility in this category.
Long-term Care Quality
Incredibly, we awarded this facility a grade of C for our long-term care score, which really isn't too bad of a score. With our long-term care grade, we focus more on the amount of services provided by a nursing home, along with a series of qualitative metrics. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 98.907104 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

In computing our short-term care ratings, we size up the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This area is more often than not a fair assessment of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. With its grade in this category, we were not stunned to discover that this place was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the data we assessed. Honestly, this was what we expected here. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either.
