Facility Inspections
While we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively solid government inspections in recent years. We gave it a respectable grade of B+ in this category, which is much better than its overall grade. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid nursing homes with too many deficiencies flagged. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second highest category was its short-term care grade, where it was awarded a B-. Short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The final metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Nursing grades are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is significantly below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is long-term care. This nursing home received a bottom of the barrel grade of F in that area. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated only 77.23577 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
