Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively favorable government inspections in recent years. We gave it a respectable grade of B in this area, which is much better than its overall score. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. We weren't able to locate deficiency data for this facility. Without having access to the information regarding deficiencies for this nursing home, it was challenging to assess it in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The next best area we gave this facility in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a C. Short-term care scores are crucial for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
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. Our nursing rating is based on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of skill of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed is long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this category, which is a rock bottom score. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 77.37226 percent of its residents. This is quite a bit less than the national average. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
