Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent grade in the area of inspections, where it received an A-. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is generally in your best interest to avoid nursing homes that had too many severe deficiencies. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second best area was its long-term care score, where it received a B-. In the category of long-term care, we weigh the quantity of care provided by a facility, rather than more medically-intensive services. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 74.56 percent of its patients. This is multiple points lower than the national average. Nevertheless, this place keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. There are a variety of datapoints within this category. Most of the factors reflect staffing levels. This particular nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we scored was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area, which is a poor score. Our short-term care grade is generally used to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Based on its weak score in this category, we weren't shocked to learn that this facility offers far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.
