Facility Inspections
While this place's overall grade was terrible, it fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection scores account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid nursing homes with a bunch of severe deficiencies flagged. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through 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
Tragically, this facility received an F for its long-term care grade. For residents in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 97.38718 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing grade focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This facility averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we rated is short-term care, where this facility received a very poor grade in this area also. It received an abysmal F in this category, which is obviously somewhat alarming. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. 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 looked at the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
