Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually received a very good grade in the area of inspections. We gave it a grade of B+ for that area, which is one of our better grades. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with a bunch of deficiencies flagged. 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. The lack of deficiencies is this facility's greatest strength.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second most respectable score was long-term care, but it nevertheless received a grade of just D in that category. This ended up being a relatively poor score. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care likely don't provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes offer. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 30.434784 percent of its patients. This is multiple points lower than average. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. When determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the number of hours nurses are caring for residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This place averaged a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This facility performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we analyzed is short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category, which is a very poor score. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the number of patients that returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
