Nurse Quality
While we were down on this facility overall, we awarded it a B+ in nursing. In computing a nursing home's nursing score, we look at the amount of time nurses commit to patients and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning a resident more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
We also awarded this facility a strong grade in short-term care. This nursing home received a B in this category, which turns out to be one of our higher scores. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer good rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists.

Long-term Care Quality
We awarded this facility just a D for our long-term care rating. This is not a score to write home about. Facilities that do not fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to only 88.99522 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
Facility Inspections
Moving on our final category of inspections, this nursing home received a grade that's as bad as it gets. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a facility's inspection reports when it receives this poor of an inspection rating. We suggest you scrutinize the level of severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they posed a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 13 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
