Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home excelled in our nursing category, where it received a grade of C. Few nursing homes fared better in this area. Nursing grades are largely based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below average. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses to assist its patients.

Short-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this facility only received a D for its short-term care rating, which is not one of our better scores. Our short-term care grades are vital for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its score in this area, we weren't stunned to find that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. Honestly, this was about what we expected here. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was long-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's weakest category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that area. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
