Facility Inspections
While this place's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection grades are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Not having any deficiencies proved to be this place's best achievement.
Short-term Care Quality
Incredibly, we gave this facility a C for its short-term care grade, which really isn't a bad grade. In crafting our short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The key is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. The nursing grade assesses many subcategories, but the most important one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This place offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed is long-term care. This nursing home was given a very poor grade of F in this area. Nursing homes that do not score well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. One of the data points we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to only 86.349205 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility was actually 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. This is its best score in this category.
