Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection ratings are tied to several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Not having any deficiencies proved to be this nursing home's greatest accomplishment.
Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this facility a grade of just D for our short-term care score and that actually ended up being its second best score. Our short-term care ratings are important for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With a score this poor for this area, we weren't surprised to discover this nursing home was well below average in two of the key staffing figures we assess. The 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 ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 99.39759 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The next area we scored was nursing, in which this facility received a very poor grade here as well. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. The nursing grade is based on many data points, but the paramount one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This place averaged just 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades.
