Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a grade of B for our inspections category. This grade is much better than the place's overall score. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home received its second highest category score in the area of short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this area, which is a respectable grade. Our short-term care ratings are vital for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final metric we considered in this category is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 6.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility was awarded its third highest category score in the category of long-term care. We gave this facility a grade of B- in this category, which is a respectable score. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to only 82.1192 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
Nurse Quality
The last area we assessed was nursing, where this facility received a rock bottom grade in this area also. It received an abysmal F in this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. When determining a nursing home's nursing score, we look at the number of hours nurses commit to residents and the levels of training of those nurses. This place averaged a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
