Facility Inspections
Although we didn't give this facility a good overall grade, we actually gave it a strong grade in the category of inspections, where it received a B+. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, 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 facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
The next highest category we gave this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a C. In determining our short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. We were extremely impressed to find that this facility offers its residents substantially more physical therapist hours than most other nursing homes. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to return home from the facility. It performed better than most facilities in this area with 53.7 percent of its patients returning home.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of long-term care, this facility was given a grade of just D in that area. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated just 82.954544 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, we looked at its number of hospitalizations. With 1.84 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home did not fare as well as the average nursing home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we looked at is nursing. This nursing home received a poor grade of F in that category. Our nursing category assesses quite a few subcategories, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. With only 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this place's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these statistics pulled down this nursing home's nursing grade quite a bit.
