Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. We believe that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 3 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.
Short-term Care Quality
We also wanted to point out this facility's unfortunate short-term care grade where it was given an F. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those 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. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. We weighed the qualifications of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time the nurses spent with patients, in determining our grade in this area. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. 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.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our next category, this facility really did not fare very well in this category either. Due to a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. For residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. One of the factors we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 94.91018 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
