Nurse Quality
Even though we gave this nursing home an abysmal overall score, we awarded it a grade of B- for our nursing category. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses at the facility, in addition to the number of hours the nurses worked with residents, in computing our rating in this area. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, while this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this subcategory.
Facility Inspections
Interestingly, this facility's terrible overall score can't really be attributed to its government inspection reports. We gave it a C for our inspections rating. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. This facility was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were in categories G through L. This means 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.

Long-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home just a D for our long-term care score. This is well below average in this category. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. As it turns out, this nursing home vaccinated just 82.175224 percent of its residents, which is slightly concerning. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we graded was short-term care, turned out to be this nursing home's worst area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this area. In forming our short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to devise a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Considering its grade in this category, we were not stunned to discover that this place was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the data we looked at. The final datapoint we considered 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 4.3 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 facility's short-term care grade.
