Facility Inspections
While we gave this place a terrible overall grade, we gave it a grade of B for our inspections rating. This was the result of the facility receiving a quality inspection report this year. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of F. Our nursing score analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is far below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this nursing home a rock-bottom F in the category of short-term care. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more meaningful for residents requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. With a score in this range for this category, we were not stunned to learn this facility was well below average in multiple staffing areas we assess. The facility supplied far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the last area, this facility did not perform well in this category either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this is about as terrible as it gets. Nursing homes that do not score well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. We were a bit alarmed this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 89.24419 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best feature in this category.
