Facility Inspections
While we were not high on this facility's overall grade, it actually received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that category with an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. This facility received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable category is long-term care. We awarded it a C in this area. This is basically a middle of the road score in this category. For patients in need of a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated 76.24521 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is several points lower than average. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's next best category is short-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this category, it still performed somewhat poorly. With our short-term care rating, we attempt to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Based on its grade in this category, we weren't surprised to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the data we looked at. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we rated is nursing, in which this nursing home was given a very poor grade in this area also. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this category, which is obviously a major concern. In calculating our nursing grades, we factor in both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
