Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B+ for our inspections rating. This score is much more impressive than the facility's overall score. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also was awarded a favorable grade in our long-term care category. We gave this facility a better than average grade of B in that category. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.375 percent of its patients. This is a proven method to minimize negative health outcomes for the elderly population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of short-term care, this nursing home was given just a D in this area. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its abysmal score in this category, we were not shocked to find this nursing home offered far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The last category we scored is nursing. This nursing home was given a very poor grade of F in this category. When computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the amount of time nurses spend with patients and the levels of training of those nurses. This place offered just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is an alarmingly low total. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
