Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a favorable grade in long-term care. This facility earned a B in this category, which is one of our higher grades. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 30.701756 percent of its residents. This is slightly below what we were hoping for. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 1.43 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
Nurse Quality
Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a score of D. The nursing grade is based on many factors, many of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. In addition to receiving below average scores for nursing hours, this nursing home was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and found that this place was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's least impressive area was short-term care, which is the final category we analyzed. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area. Even with several decent scores in other categories, this grade is still concerning so we felt obligated to point it out. In determining these short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. With a score of this caliber in this category, we were not shocked to find this facility was below average in two of the key staffing areas we looked at. The nursing home offered far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 36.1 percent of its patients returning home.

This is the percentage of residents that suffered from a urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infections are often associated with facilities with lower levels of hygiene.
