Facility Inspections
We want to point out that this facility outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest grades in that category with an A. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home received 7 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.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable category is short-term care. We awarded it a B- in this area. This is essentially a slightly below average grade in this category. Our short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The last item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Nurse Quality
Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing score. In fact, we gave this facility an D. Our nursing rating is primarily associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This place fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we graded is long-term care. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this area, which is an abysmal score. This is certainly a significant concern. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category likely don't provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes provide. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 36.477985 percent of its patients. This is significantly lower than the national average. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
