Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively solid inspections in recent years. We gave it a respectable grade of B+ in this category, which is much better than its overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.

Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of long-term care, this facility received a grade of just D in that category. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was able to keep its residents 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.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is an abysmal score. In determining our short-term care grades, we size up a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This score is generally a reliable assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services. Not surprisingly, we learned that this place offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 3.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
