Facility Inspections
While we didn't give this nursing home a good overall grade, we actually gave it a strong grade in the area of inspections, where it earned a B+. Inspection grades are tied to pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of C. Our nursing rating is primarily based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This place averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this facility a grade of just D for our short-term care rating. This is not a very good score. Short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Considering its score in this area, we were not surprised to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the figures we looked at. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's weakest category was long-term care, which is the final category we assessed. In this area, we awarded this facility a grade of just D. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the factors we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 95.454544 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
