Facility Inspections
Although we were not high on this place's overall performance, it did receive an impressive inspection report this year with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that category with a B+. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
The next highest area we awarded this facility in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a C. Our short-term care grades are likely more meaningful for patients in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we considered the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. The nursing score weighs a number of datapoints. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. 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 measures in determining our nursing scores. This facility fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the next category, this nursing home really did not fare well in this area either. Due to a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 96.64948 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
