Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of A+. Few facilities performed better in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
The next best category we gave this nursing home in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Our long-term care grade assesses a nursing home's assistance with daily living rather than the highly skilled therapy and medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 95.85253 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This facility also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home just a D for our short-term care grade. This is not one of our better scores. With our short-term care rating, we try to craft a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this facility provides substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.8 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's least impressive area was nursing, which is the final category we scored. For this category, we gave this nursing home a D. We weighed the qualifications of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of time those nurses spent with residents, in determining our grade in this category. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
