Despite all this, one of the few highlights of this nursing home's report card is its strong inspection grade. You can continue reading to find out about inspections and other category scores

Although this place's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Turning to the area of long-term care, this facility received just a D in that area. Unfortunately, this wound up being one of its best areas. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated only 58.45272 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Lastly, we were stunned by its number of hospitalizations. We found that this nursing home fared very poorly with 6.46 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, this figure is more than double the national average.

Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. There are numerous datapoints included in this category. Most of these subcategories are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is slightly below average. In addition to receiving below average marks for nursing hours, this nursing home was less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients suffering pressure ulcers and found that this nursing home was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this metric.

The final area we scored was short-term care. This facility was given an abysmal grade of F in that area. Short-term care grades are generally employed to gauge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. With its score in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the data we assessed. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 16.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
