Long-term Care Quality
Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a better long-term care rating this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that category, which was the closest thing to a bright spot we can find for this place. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After looking at 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 patients for pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. We looked at the skill-level of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the number of hours those nurses worked with residents, in computing our grade in this category. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure as it is well below the national average. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second worse score is short-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that area. This is a relatively poor grade. Short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Given its grade in this area, we were not surprised to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the data we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Facility Inspections
Turning our last area of inspections, this facility received an F in this area. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection score. We suggest you scrutinize the level of severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home had 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility also received 8 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
