Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a C for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 7 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were category G through L deficiencies. This means it dodged the more serious categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the area of short-term care, this nursing home received a grade of just D in this area. Sadly, this wound up being one of its better features. In computing our short-term care scores, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. As you might expect, we learned that this place offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical nursing home. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 5.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. There are quite a few factors included in this category. Many of these factors are tied to staffing levels. This particular place provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is far below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last area, this nursing home didn't fare very well here either. Due to a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it generally means the facility did not perform well in our measures relating to resident care. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 82.29508 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is quite a bit less than what we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
