Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it an A for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the facility's overall grade. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We also awarded this facility a grade of C for our nursing rating. Nursing ratings are primarily associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this area. This can be an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving a patient more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second least favorable category is long-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that area. This is a well below average grade. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 97.11539 percent of its residents, which is a very solid percentage. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we scored is short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is a bottom of the barrel score. In our short-term care assessment, we seek to create a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Considering its poor score in this category, we weren't surprised to find this nursing home offered far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care score.
