Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid nursing homes that had a long list of deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even with this deficiency, this place still had a relatively favorable report.
Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for our short-term care rating and that actually ended up being its next most favorable category. In the area of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Considering its grade in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.

Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's third best category is long-term care. As it turns out, with a grade of D in this area, it still performed somewhat badly. For patients in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 96.65272 percent of its patients, which is a very solid total. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the last area, this facility really did not fare very well here either. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in nursing, this is just about as bad as it gets. We scrutinized the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours the nurses spent with patients, in calculating our rating in this category. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
