Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. This facility was assessed 11 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home just a D for our short-term care rating and that actually turned out to be its second best category. In calculating our short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Given its abysmal score in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this place offered substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. When determining our nursing scores, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of the nurses. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This place fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we scored is long-term care. This facility received a very poor grade of F in this area. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 94.941635 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
