As a result, it received one of our more favorable grades in that area with a B. Our inspection ratings are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities that have severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility received an F for its long-term care grade. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated a relatively low 3.305786 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.06 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. When computing our nursing grades, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This facility fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these datapoints to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our next category, this facility didn't fare very well in this category either. Due to a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. In our short-term care grade, we seek to craft a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Given its grade in this category, we were not surprised to find that this place was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. Finally, we assessed the number of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
