While we didn't give this nursing home a good overall grade, we did give it a strong grade in the category of inspections, where it earned a B+. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid facilities that had too many deficiencies. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

This nursing home's second most favorable category is short-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack score in this category. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The final metric we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. There are a variety of subcategories within this category. Most of the criteria relate to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 2.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, we also considered a few quality-based measures in this category. Although this facility did not rank highly in terms of its nursing hours, it fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. For example, in terms of the number of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than average. This is usually a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented with better nursing care.

Switching gears to our next category, this facility did not fare very well here either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in long-term care, this is really as bad as it gets. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 1.18 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
