Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this place overall, we awarded it a B+ for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. Inspection grades weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
This facility's second best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. Nursing scores are largely based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home offered only 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second lowest score was long-term care, where it received just a D in that area. This is a relatively poor grade. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is typically a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the nursing home is not as well-staffed. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated just 77.88461 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the next category, this nursing home didn't fare very well in this category either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. With our short-term care score, we try to create a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech 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 assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics doomed this facility's short-term care grade.
