Facility Inspections
While we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B for our inspections category. This was due to the nursing home receiving a quality government inspection report this year. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid places with too many severe deficiencies flagged. This particular nursing home received 7 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.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we gave this facility a rock-bottom F in the category of long-term care. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. Once we assessed the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated only 32.575756 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. There are numerous factors included in this grade. Most of the datapoints are tied to the quantity of nurse staffing. This facility offered just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these datapoints to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was short-term care. This nursing home was given a very poor grade of F in that area. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to devise a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.7 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below the national average.
