Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a B+ for our inspections rating. This grade is much more impressive than the facility's overall grade. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing rating is primarily based on a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is well below average. Lastly, while this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this area.

Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of long-term care, this facility was awarded just a D in that category. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care likely don't provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes offer. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated 89.21568 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is significantly below what we expected. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our last area, this nursing home really didn't perform very well here either. With a poor grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. Our short-term care scores are crucial for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its abysmal rating in this category, we were not surprised to learn that this nursing home provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.8 percent of its patients returning home.
