Facility Inspections
Although we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it actually earned a fairly impressive government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our more favorable scores in that category with a B. Our inspection scores are tied to several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an C. The nursing rating assesses several factors, however, the most important one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Long-term Care Quality
Another concern is the F this nursing home received in the category of long-term care. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category may not provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities offer. Once we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated only 86.29032 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at was short-term care. This facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in that category. In determining our short-term care scores, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Based on its score in this category, we were not stunned to find that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 3.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
