Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this facility favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent score in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. This particular nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's next most favorable score is short-term care. However, with a grade of D in this category, it still fared somewhat badly. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this facility provides substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical nursing home. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 5.1 percent of its patients returning home.

Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of long-term care, this facility received a grade of just D in that category. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 97.4249 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our last area, this facility really did not perform well in this category either. Due to a poor grade of F in nursing, this is just about as terrible as it gets. There are several criteria included in this area. Most of the criteria are tied to levels of nurse staffing. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This facility fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
