Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A+ for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid nursing homes that have a long list of severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 4 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.
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 grades are primarily based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. With a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of long-term care, this facility was awarded just a D in this area. For residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 98.181816 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is more than most nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the next area, we awarded this facility a D for our short-term care category. This is the facility's least impressive category rating. Short-term care ratings are important for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more skilled nursing. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With its abysmal grade in this category, we were not surprised to discover that this place offered far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. The last statistic we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics was damning for this facility's short-term care score.
