Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection scores are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also wanted to point out that this facility was awarded favorable short-term care marks this year. We gave them one of our more impressive scores in that area, with a grade of B+. This proved to be the nursing home's second best grade. In the area of short-term care, we seek to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, we were not able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing category weighs several components, most of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we graded was long-term care. This facility received a poor grade of F in that area. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 41.11111 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
