Facility Inspections
While we were not very complementary of this facility's overall grade, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that category with a grade of A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

This facilities second best category was long-term care. We gave it a C in this category. This is essentially a middle of the road grade in this category.

This place offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is well below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores.

Short-term Care Quality
The final category we rated was short-term care. This facility received a rock bottom grade of F in this category. Short-term care ratings are crucial for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Given its grade in this category, we were not stunned to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the figures we looked at. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either.
