Facility Inspections
While we were not very complementary of this nursing home's overall score, it actually received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with an A. Inspection ratings are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. We weren't able to track down deficiency counts for this nursing home. Without having the deficiency related data for this nursing home, it is difficult to fully assess it in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
This facilities next most favorable area was short-term care. We gave it a C in this area. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this category. Our short-term care grades are probably more meaningful for those requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing rating assesses the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. With a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this place's nurse staffing levels were significantly below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our final category, this nursing home really didn't fare well here either. With a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is really as bad as it gets. Nursing homes that don't score 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 looked at. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 93.36283 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be slightly less than we expected but still a decent percentage. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
