Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this nursing home overall, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid places that have a long list of severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating and that actually turned out to be its second highest score. Nursing scores are based in large part on nurse staffing levels. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality
The next category we looked at was short-term care, in which this nursing home was given an F. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. As you might expect, we found that this nursing home offers substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical nursing home. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we rated is long-term care. Sadly, it received an F in this area, which is an abysmal grade. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes provide. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. As it turns out, this facility administered the vaccine to a relatively low 52.54237 percent of its residents, which is not a very encouraging sign. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
