Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B for our inspections rating. This grade is much more impressive than the facility's overall grade. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors did not 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 the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second best area turned out to be its long-term care grade, where it was awarded a grade of B-. In crafting these long-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's personal care services. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. Our nursing grade analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of training of the nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed is short-term care. Sadly, it received an F in this category, which is an abysmal score. In our short-term care rating, we attempt to craft a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last item we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.
