Facility Inspections
Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it earned a very impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that area with a B+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Tragically, we gave this facility an F for its short-term care score. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Given its poor rating in this area, we were not shocked to discover that this nursing home offered far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics doomed this facility's short-term care grade.

Nurse Quality
In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. There are a variety of factors included in this category. Many of the subcategories reflect levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed was long-term care. This nursing home received an abysmal grade of F in that category. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.672134 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
