On top of receiving a bad overall score, we also gave this nursing home terrible grades across the board in each of the categories. In fact, it only received a grade of just D for its inspections grade, which is its top category. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This facility was assessed one category G through L deficiency, which are among the more serious deficiencies. This generally indicates that the deficiencies uncovered by the government inspectors had the potential to pose actual harm to patients.

We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for our long-term care score and that actually turned out to be its second highest score. Nursing homes that do not score well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated 52.717392 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is quite a few points less than what we expected. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.
