Facility Inspections
Although we did not rate this nursing home highly overall, we want to point out its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
We also gave this nursing home a solid score in the category of long-term care, with a grade of B-. Our long-term care grade assesses a nursing home's personal care instead of the highly skilled nursing and healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility gave the vaccine to 99.842766 percent of its patients, which is an above average datapoint. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. Nursing scores are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This number is significantly below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our final area, this nursing home did not fare very well here either. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most meaningful for individuals requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. With a grade this poor in this category, we were not stunned to find this nursing home was well below average in multiple staffing figures we focus on. The nursing home provided significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 2.3 percent of its residents returning home.
