Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. This particular nursing home received 19 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's next most favorable score was long-term care. As it turns out, with a grade of D in this area, it still performed relatively poorly. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 95.56026 percent of its residents, which is an above average figure. Surprisingly, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Our nursing grade features a number of factors. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This facility performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we rated is short-term care, where this facility was given a very poor score in this area also. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is definitely very concerning. Short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. As you might expect, we discovered that this place provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
