Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection ratings are tied to several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. It does not look like we have deficiency counts for this nursing home. Without all of the deficiency data for this nursing home, it was difficult to really evaluate the place in the inspections category.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's next most favorable area turned out to be short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a C. Our short-term care scores are thought to be most critical for patients in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final measure we looked at in this area is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. Our nursing grade includes many subcategories, but the primary consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was long-term care, in which this nursing home was given a poor grade in this area as well. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category, which is obviously very concerning. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We were a bit concerned this nursing home administered the vaccine to just 65.86826 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best feature in this category.
