Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this facility a grade of C for its long-term care grade, which is not too bad of a score. In our long-term care grade, we focus on the sheer quantity of care provided by a facility, along with a handful of quality statistics. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated 13.740457 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is significantly below average. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.05 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. There are many datapoints within this category. Most of the factors reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, although this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we analyzed was short-term care. This nursing home was given an abysmal grade of F in this category. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. Given its score in this area, we weren't surprised to find that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected here. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 2.6 percent of its patients returning home.
