Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually performed well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection scores are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities that have severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also pleasantly surprised to find that this nursing home earned a somewhat respectable short-term care rating in our assessment. We awarded it a C in this category. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality
We were stunned to find that this nursing home also excelled in nursing. In fact, we awarded it a grade of D for that category, which is one of our best grades. Nursing ratings are mostly based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This facility performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we rated is long-term care. This facility received a very poor grade of F in that category. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated just 67.25664 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
