Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this facility overall, we awarded it a grade of A- for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the facility's overall score. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid places with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
The second most favorable area we gave this facility in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a C. Our long-term care grade is commonly used to judge a nursing home's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home gave the vaccine to just 82.31884 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this facility excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
Another concern is the F this nursing home received in the area of short-term care. In determining our short-term care grades, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Based on its score in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the figures we assessed. Honestly, this was what we expected here. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The last area we analyzed was nursing, in which this facility received a bottom of the barrel score in this category as well. Sadly, it received an F for this category, which is definitely a major concern. Our nursing category is based on many factors, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home was above average in two of the areas we focus on, with good marks for avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally good measures of the quality of nursing care provided.
