Facility Inspections
To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home an A- for our inspections rating. This is far more impressive than its overall score. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable category is long-term care. We gave it a C in this category. This is essentially a middle of the road score in this area. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated just 59.866222 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of D. Our nursing rating analyzes quite a few subcategories, however, the paramount consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we looked at is short-term care, which was a weak link for this nursing home. We awarded this facility a grade of just D in our short-term care category. Our short-term care ratings are vital for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Considering its score in this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the figures we looked at. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics sunk this facility's short-term care grade.
