Although we did not rate this facility well overall, we want to point out its decent grade of B- in the category of short-term care. In calculating our short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. The last item we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's long-term care grade ended up being one of its better features. The facility was given a C in this area. Our long-term care scores are more important for individuals needing more traditional assistance related to personal care. Once we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. We assessed the levels of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses worked with patients, in calculating our score in this category. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is well below average. Finally, our nursing scores also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
Facility Inspections
Moving on the last category of government inspections, we gave this facility a D for our inspection category. This proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. We take a poor grade in this category very seriously. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. We recommend you scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This particular facility was assessed 8 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, we want to point out that this nursing home was assessed significant government fines recently of more than $50,000. This often indicates that inspectors became frustrated after multiple years of bad government inspections.
