Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home highly overall, we want to draw your attention to its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was given its next highest category score in the category of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable score. Our long-term care ratings are more important for those needing more conventional services associated with activities of daily living. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated 57.221207 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is several points lower than average. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. In calculating our nursing ratings, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the last category, this facility really didn't fare well here either. With a poor grade of F in short-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. In determining our short-term care ratings, we scrutinize the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This score is frequently a fair measure of a facility's rehabilitation services. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
