Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our better grades in that area with a B. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of short-term care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Sadly, this wound up being its second best grade. With our short-term care category, we try to create a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. With its grade in this category, we were not stunned to find that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we looked at. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
The third area we assessed was long-term care. This nursing home's received an abysmal long-term care grade where it received a lowly F. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility gave the vaccine to only 42.46154 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
Nurse Quality
The next category we graded was nursing. This facility received a rock bottom grade of F in that area. Our nursing score considers a number of data points. The most heavily weighted factor is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home.
