Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this nursing home overall, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. Inspection scores are based on several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's long-term care score is one of its more favorable scores. The nursing home was awarded a C in this area. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 93.71728 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is a bit lower than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home just a D for our short-term care score. This is not one of our better scores. In the category of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Given its score in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this place was well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected here. The last measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 5 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we looked at is nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this area, which is a bottom of the barrel score. Our nursing score considers many data points. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. 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. This nursing home also had terrible scores in some of the quality-based metrics to pair with its weak nursing hour totals. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This nursing home was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this metric. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores could be avoided with better nursing care. This metric helped pull down this facility's nursing score quite a bit.
