Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. Our inspection ratings are based on many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's second most respectable category was short-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this category, it still fared somewhat poorly. Short-term care grades are critical for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.

Nursing scores are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. This place averaged just 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we scored is long-term care. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this area, which is a poor grade. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 91.40768 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
