Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We believe that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We were also surprised to find that this facility received a decent nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. Nursing scores are mostly tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared with most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. Although this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this area. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving a resident more often.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility also didn't fare poorly in the category of long-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of C for that area, which is among its more favorable grades. In forming our long-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We found that this nursing home vaccinated just 82.244896 percent of its residents, which is a bit of a concern. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the final category, this nursing home did not perform very well in this category either. With a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. Our short-term care grade is often employed to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. 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 considered the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
