Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent score in the category of inspections, where it received an A+. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid places with too many deficiencies flagged. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home only earned a grade of D for its long-term care grade, which ended up being one of its more favorable category scores. Long-term care scores in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 65.338646 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. The nursing rating weighs a host of factors. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was short-term care, in which this nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel grade here also. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this area, which is obviously a major concern. In computing our short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Considering its score in this area, we weren't stunned to find that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
