Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a C for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This means inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent danger to patient safety or health. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In fact, nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an F. In determining our nursing grades, we assess both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality
Tragically, this facility received an F for its short-term care grade. Short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. With a score in this range in this area, we were not surprised to discover this nursing home was well below average in two of the key staffing figures we assess. The facility provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.7 percent of its patients returning home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was long-term care. This nursing home was given a poor grade of F in this area. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care likely don't provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities offer. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 59.107807 percent of its residents. This is pretty significantly lower than what we expected. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
