Facility Inspections
Although we didn't rate this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent score in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of A. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid nursing homes that have too many severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to note this nursing home's bottom of the barrel short-term care score where it received a lowly F. In the category of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Based on its score in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the figures we assessed. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. The last measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics doomed this facility's short-term care grade.

Long-term Care Quality
Another concern is the F this facility was given in the area of long-term care. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 95.918365 percent of its residents, which is an above average statistic. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The final area we looked at was nursing. This nursing home received an abysmal grade of F in that area. Our nursing score weighs numerous factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is well below average. To pair with its low total nursing hours per patient, this facility had poor marks in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents having falls leading to serious injury. This nursing home was at more than 150 percent of the national average in this statistic. This is concerning in light of the fact that many falls could be avoided with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the facility's fate of receiving a poor nursing grade.
