This rating is frequently a fair assessment of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. It does not look like this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

We also awarded this facility a decent score in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Long-term care grades are generally used to gauge a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. After we finished assessing the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 96.031746 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
Facility Inspections
The last category we assessed is inspections. This nursing home did not receive favorable government inspections in recent years. We gave it an F in this category. This dragged down this facility's overall score quite a bit. For facilities with poor inspection grades, you should really focus on any severe deficiencies found on their inspection reports. Amazingly, this particular nursing didn't have any deficiencies on its inspection report. Clearly, this was not the area dragging down its inspection grade. Finally, this facility also received 6 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
