Although we didn't give this nursing home a good overall score, we did give it a strong grade in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of B. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

This nursing home's next best area is long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. In computing our long-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is better than most nursing homes. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.83 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The third most favorable category we gave this facility in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a C. In crafting our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. In fact, we found it was above average in this metric with 51.6 percent of its patients returning home.

The last area we graded is nursing, in which this facility was given a very poor grade here as well. We gave it an F for this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. There are several factors included in this area. Most of the criteria are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home averaged a meager 3.1 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is an alarmingly low total. To go along with its below average totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility had really poor scores in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining falls which led to major injury. This place was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
