Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a poor overall score, we gave it a B+ for our inspections category. This was due to the nursing home receiving a quality inspection report this year. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid nursing homes that had a long list of severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We also would like to point out that this nursing home received an F for its short-term care score. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. As you might expect, we learned that this facility offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed is long-term care, in which this facility was given an F. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means the facility did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. As it turns out, this facility provided the vaccine to only 73.623184 percent of its residents, which is not a very encouraging sign. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our final area, this facility really did not perform well in this category either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in nursing, this is just about as bad as it gets. Nursing grades are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
