Facility Inspections
Although this facility's overall score was terrible, it performed pretty well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B for that area, which is one of our better scores. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is generally in your best interest to avoid places that have a long list of deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't 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 the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this nursing home only received a D for its long-term care score, which happens to be one of its higher category scores. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Nursing scores are tied to nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at was short-term care. This nursing home was given a rock bottom grade of F in this category. Our short-term care grades are considered to be most critical for individuals requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
