Facility Inspections
While we gave this nursing home a terrible overall score, we awarded it a B+ for our inspections rating. This was due to the nursing home receiving a quality government inspection report this year. Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with a bunch of severe deficiencies flagged. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also stunned to discover that this nursing home earned a solid short-term care score this year. We gave it a C in this category. Our short-term care ratings are probably more important for residents requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The tricky part is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality
The final category we scored is long-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is a very poor grade. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 96.7033 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
