Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. In spite of this deficiency, this was still a relatively favorable report.
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Nursing scores are largely based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This place performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of short-term care, this nursing home received a grade of just D in this area. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Based on its abysmal score in this category, we were not stunned to learn that this place provides significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed is long-term care. It received an F for this category, which is a very poor score. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 97.945206 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
