Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid places with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. This particular nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
One of this facility's more favorable category grades came in the category of long-term care. This turned out to be its second most respectable category. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. In computing our long-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an above average figure. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. The nursing score assesses several datapoints, however, the primary one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our next area, this facility really didn't fare very well in this area either. With a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as as uninspiring as it gets. Short-term care grades are meaningful for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
