Facility Inspections
Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it actually earned a relatively impressive government inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our better grades in that category with a B+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
This facility's second best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. In determining our nursing grades, we look at both nursing hours and the training levels of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This statistic is quite a bit below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home ended up receiving a rock-bottom grade in our long-term care area. It received an F in this area. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated 72.74074 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be quite a few points less than what we expected. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the next area, this nursing home really did not perform well in this area either. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. In calculating our short-term care grades, we look at a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This category is often a meaningful measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. With its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to find that this facility was well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the data we assessed. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.7 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.
