Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. 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. In spite of this deficiency, this was still a relatively favorable report.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's next best category was long-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this category, it still performed relatively badly. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 90.16641 percent of its patients. This is pretty significantly less than the national average. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing rating is based on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these datapoints to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed is short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is an abysmal grade. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to create a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Given its poor rating in this area, we were not surprised to discover that this facility offered far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
