Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we did give it an excellent score in the area of inspections, where it received an A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded its next highest category score in the category of short-term care. We awarded this facility a C in this category, which is an acceptable score. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical facility. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below average.

Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. Nursing scores are largely based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular facility offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This number is quite a bit below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was long-term care. It received an F for this category, which is a poor score. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is higher than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this place also keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
