Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a C for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite minor. This place was assessed 6 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were category G through L deficiencies. This tells you that it avoided the more significant categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its short-term care rating, which turns out to be one of its more favorable category scores. In computing our short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. As you might expect, we found that this place offers far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 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
Sadly, this facility received an F for its long-term care score. For residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is better than most nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The final category we rated was nursing. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this area, which is a bottom of the barrel score. Our nursing rating is largely based on a facility's nurse staffing. This facility offered a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This number is far below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these data points to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
