Facility Inspections
Although this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually performed well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B for that area, which is one of our better scores. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid facilities that have too many deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
In our next category, we gave this nursing home an F in the area of short-term care. Short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final metric we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics sunk this nursing home's short-term care grade.

Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is long-term care. This facility's was given a low-end long-term care grade where it was given a lowly F. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 88.10573 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
Nurse Quality
The next category we assessed was nursing. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this area, which is a bottom of the barrel score. Our nursing score focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
