Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we did give it an excellent grade in the area of inspections, where it received an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second highest category is short-term care, but even there it received a grade of just D in that category. This is still a well below average score. Short-term care grades are generally used to score a facility's rehabilitation services. To have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. With a grade in this range in this area, we weren't surprised to learn that this place was below average in multiple staffing areas we looked at. It offered far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.6 percent of its residents returning home.

Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. In computing a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are seeing patients as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This number is well below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our last area, this nursing home really did not perform very well here either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. One of the data points we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 94.44445 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
