Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a horrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of A- for our inspections score. This grade is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid places that had a long list of deficiencies. 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
As it turns out, this facility only received a grade of D for its short-term care rating, which ended up being one of its better category grades. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care score.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. Our nursing grade is based on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we scored was long-term care. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is a very poor grade. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category likely don't provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes provide. One of the data points we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. We were a bit alarmed this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 57.309944 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
