Facility Inspections
Although this place's overall score was as bad as it gets, it actually fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. This particular nursing home received 4 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.
Nurse Quality
This facility's second best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. There are a variety of datapoints included in this area. Many of the factors reflect levels of nurse staffing. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this facility's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's third best category is long-term care. However, with a D in this area, it still fared somewhat poorly. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.34853 percent of its residents, which is better than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed is short-term care, in which this facility was given a rock bottom grade here also. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. In our short-term care score, we seek to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. With its grade in this category, we were not surprised to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the figures we assessed. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. The last item we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 2.9 percent of its patients returning home.
