Facility Inspections
We would like to point out that this nursing home's inspection rating exceeded its overall score. This facility earned a B in this area, which is a quality score. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Short-term Care Quality
Another one of this facility's more favorable category scores came in the category of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B. Our short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this nursing home provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home was given its third most favorable category score in the category of long-term care. We gave this facility a grade of B- in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable score. For residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 98.44237 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Nurse Quality
The next category we rated is nursing, which proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is certainly very concerning. Nursing ratings are largely associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place offered only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is an alarmingly low total. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home.
