Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we gave it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with too many severe deficiencies flagged. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this facility only received a D for its long-term care rating, which turns out to be one of its more respectable category grades. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 97.526505 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home ended up receiving a an abysmal grade in our short-term care area. It was given an F in this area. Our short-term care ratings are likely most meaningful for folks needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of 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 metric we considered in this category is the number of patients who returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.6 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
The next area we looked at is nursing, where this facility received an abysmal grade here as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is definitely a major disappointment. There are a variety of data points included in this area. Most of the subcategories are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility offered just 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This facility performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these data points to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
