Although this facility's overall grade was terrible, it performed well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B for that area, which is one of our better scores.

You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for our short-term care grade. This is not one of our better scores. Our short-term care grades are considered to be more critical for those requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we learned that this facility offers far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we scored was long-term care, in which this nursing home received a poor score in this area as well. We gave it an F in this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. 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. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home gave the vaccine to only 53.22034 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
