Facility Inspections
Although we graded this place incredibly poorly overall, it actually received a fairly impressive government inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our more favorable grades in that area with a B. Arguably the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid nursing homes that have too many deficiencies. This place was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This place averaged a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades.

Long-term Care Quality
In our next category, we gave this facility a rock-bottom F in the area of long-term care. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 97.01492 percent of its patients, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we scored is short-term care. This facility was given a rock bottom grade of F in this area. In our short-term care rating, we endeavor to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. With its weak grade in this category, we were not surprised to discover this nursing home offered significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of patients who returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below average.
