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 calculating our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not consider 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 the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next best category is long-term care, but it still received just a D in that category. This turns out to be a relatively poor score. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 66.31206 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is significantly below average. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality
Tragically, this facility received an F for its short-term care score. In computing these short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Not surprisingly, we found that this place provides significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. The final metric we considered in this category is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.3 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below average.
Nurse Quality
The next area we graded was nursing. We gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is a poor grade. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This place provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place had really bad scores in many of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining falls which led to major injury. This nursing home was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
