Facility Inspections
Although we gave this nursing home a terrible overall score, we awarded it a grade of A- for our inspections score. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of D. Our nursing score assesses the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This number is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of short-term care, this facility was given just a D in this area. Our short-term care grade is generally used to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to provide good rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Considering its score in this category, we weren't surprised to find that this facility was well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our last area, this nursing home really did not fare well in this area either. With a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 85.82996 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is several points less than what we expected. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
