Facility Inspections
Although we did not have many favorable things to say about this nursing home's overall score, it did receive a somewhat respectable government inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in this category with a B-. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
The second best area we awarded this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a C. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to assess a facility's rehabilitation services. To offer good rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The key is determining what effect this had on quality of care. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below average.

Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. When computing our nursing grades, we factor in both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this facility's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This facility fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we rated is long-term care, which is a low point for this nursing home. We awarded this facility a grade of just D for the area of long-term care. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 97.4359 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
