Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility's overall grade, 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 grades in that category with a grade of A-. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with too many severe deficiencies flagged. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility only received a D for its long-term care grade, which happens to be one of its higher category grades. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 84.39024 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we scored was short-term care. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this area, which is an abysmal grade. Short-term care grades are commonly used to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Based on its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.1 percent of its residents returning home.
