Facility Inspections
While we did not rate this place favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively solid health inspections in recent years. We gave it a B+ in this area, which was much better than its overall score. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we awarded this facility an D. Nursing scores are mostly associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This place offered just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second least favorable score was short-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that category. This is a well below average grade. In calculating our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. With a grade of this caliber in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this facility was well below average in multiple staffing areas we looked at. It supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. Finally, we considered the number of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we graded is long-term care, which was this nursing home's weakest area. We gave this nursing home a D in this category. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 88.34586 percent of its patients. This is pretty significantly below the national average. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
