Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A- in this category. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid places that had a long list of severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of short-term care, this facility was given a grade of just D in that category. As it turns out, this proved to be one of its better grades. In determining our short-term care ratings, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This score is often a reliable assessment of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. With a grade this poor for this area, we weren't stunned to discover this place was below average in the two key staffing metrics we focus on. The nursing home supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most nursing homes. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home.

This nursing home's second least favorable score is long-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that area. This is a well below average score. Facilities that don't score well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated just 73.376625 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
Nurse Quality
The last area we graded is nursing, where this nursing home received a rock bottom score in this area also. It received an abysmal F for this area, which is obviously very concerning. Our nursing rating includes several data points. The most heavily weighted factor is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were significantly below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
