Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection ratings are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid facilities that have severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. In determining a facility's nursing rating, we consider the number of hours nurses are caring for residents and the level of skill of the nurses. This nursing home averages 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the national average. On top of receiving below average scores for nursing hours, this nursing home was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and found this nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this metric. This is a bad sign when you consider that many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. This statistic pulled down this nursing home's nursing grade substantially.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second least favorable category was long-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that area. This is a relatively poor grade. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 98.80239 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. While it had 1.97 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score wasn't bad since it had more complex patients.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we analyzed is short-term care, which was this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. Our short-term care ratings are likely more critical for residents in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Based on its score in this area, we were not stunned to find that this place was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse hours offered to its residents. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area, with just 36.6 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
