Despite all this, one of the few highlights of this nursing home's profile is its impressive inspection rating. You can continue reading to learn more about inspections and other category scores

Facility Inspections
While we gave this nursing home a poor overall grade, we awarded it a B+ for our inspections category. This was the result of the nursing home receiving a quality inspection report this year. Inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid places with a bunch of deficiencies flagged. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home's second highest category was short-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed somewhat poorly. Our short-term care grades are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Given its weak grade in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility provided far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We were surprised to find that it performed better in this area, with 54.8 percent of its patients returning home. This was just about this nursing home's sole highlight in this area.
Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. There are a number of subcategories included in this grade. Many of these subcategories reflect staffing levels. This nursing home averages 3.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is below the national average. This nursing home also had terrible marks in several of the quality-based measures to pair with its low nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers. This facility was at more than double the national average in this metric. This is quite concerning when you consider that many bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the nursing home's fate of earning a poor nursing score.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel score. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is a very solid statistic. To our surprise, this facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
