Facility Inspections
While we were not complementary of this place's overall performance, it actually received an impressive inspection report this year with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that category with a B. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid nursing homes that had a long list of severe deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
One of this facility's more respectable category scores was in the area of long-term care. This ended up being its second most favorable category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Our long-term care grade assesses a facility's assistance with daily living rather than the skilled nursing or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 98.24047 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This facility was able to keep 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 figure.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Our nursing rating is based on several components, many of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the last area, we awarded this facility a D for our short-term care category. This is the facility's least impressive category rating. Short-term care scores are vital for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Considering its score in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we looked at. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
