Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it actually received an impressive government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best scores in that area with an A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. This particular nursing home received 10 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the area of short-term care, this facility was given a grade of just D in that category. Unfortunately, this proved to be one of its best areas. In the area of short-term care, we seek to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.

Long-term Care Quality
The third category we analyzed is long-term care. This nursing home's received a low-end long-term care grade where it received a lowly F. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 95.08196 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The last category we looked at is nursing. It received an abysmal F in this area, which is a very poor score. Our nursing rating is mostly tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This place averaged a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This number is significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
