Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a decent grade in the area of long-term care, where it received a C. For residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 97.98271 percent of its patients. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital.

Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for our short-term care score. This is not an impressive grade. In calculating our short-term care grades, we look at a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This rating is considered to be a solid assessment of the facility's rehabilitation services. As you might expect, we found that this place offers far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical nursing home. The last metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.
Nurse Quality
The next area we looked at is nursing, proved to be this nursing home's least impressive category. We awarded this facility a D in this area. In calculating our nursing ratings, we assess both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is an alarmingly low total. Unfortunately, this nursing home also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based metrics to go along with its low nursing hours. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and we were very disappointed. This nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this metric. This is likely a bad sign in light of the fact that many pressure ulcers could be avoided with better nursing care. This statistic helped pull down this nursing home's nursing rating quite a bit.
