Facility Inspections
Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it earned a very impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our better grades in that category with a B+. Inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid places with a bunch of deficiencies flagged. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility only received a D for its long-term care score, which was actually one of its higher category grades. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in long-term care likely don't provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes provide. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 74.45255 percent of its patients. This is quite a bit lower than average. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing rating considers a number of datapoints. The most important variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we scored was short-term care. It received an abysmal F for this category, which is a rock bottom grade. In our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Not surprisingly, we learned that this facility provides significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical nursing home. The final measure we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics sunk this facility's short-term care score.
