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. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
We gave this nursing home just a D for our long-term care score and that actually ended up being its next most respectable category. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category may not provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities offer. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 82.59494 percent of its patients. This is quite a bit less than average. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home only earned a grade of D for its short-term care grade, which is not an impressive grade. In crafting these short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Based on its grade in this category, we were not surprised to learn that this place was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the data we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected here. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care grade.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to our last area, this nursing home didn't perform very well in this area either. Due to a poor grade of F in nursing, this is about as bad as it gets. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. This place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
