Facility Inspections
Although we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it actually received a fairly impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our better scores in that area with a grade of B. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Surprisingly, we gave this nursing home a C for our long-term care rating, which really isn't too bad of a score. In computing our long-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. The nursing score includes a host of factors. The most important factor is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to our last area, this facility didn't perform very well in this category either. With a poor grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. In determining our short-term care ratings, we assess a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This area is often a fair measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
