Short-term Care Quality
Although this nursing home's overall score was abysmal, it actually didn't perform terribly in short-term care. In fact, we gave it a B- for that category, which isn't bad. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to spare its profile. In our short-term care assessment, we strive to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. This nursing home provides more services with physical therapists and registered nurses than most nursing homes we looked at. This is usually a favorable sign. The last metric we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
Remarkably, we gave this facility a C for our long-term care score, which isn't a bad grade. Our long-term care ratings are vital for people requiring personal care. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections
This facility's horrible overall grade probably can't be attributed to its inspections. We awarded it a C for this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. This facility had 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in categories G through L. This means that it dodged 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.
Nurse Quality
The next category we graded was nursing, which turned out to be a weak link for this nursing home. We gave this facility a grade of just D in nursing. Our nursing grade focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these data points to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
