Facility Inspections
While we didn't give this place a good overall grade, we actually gave it a relatively strong grade in the area of inspections, where it earned a B+. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a positive score in short-term care. This facility earned a B+ in this area, which turns out to be one of our more favorable grades. In the category of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final metric we considered in this category is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Our nursing rating includes a host of factors. The most important factor is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This nursing home offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we rated is long-term care. This nursing home was given a poor grade of F in that area. For residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 96.28099 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
