Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection grades are tied to many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second best score was long-term care, but it still received a grade of just D in that area. This turns out to be a well below average score. When facilities receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means the nursing home didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. After considering the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. We were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated just 55.2381 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our short-term care rating. This is not one of our better scores. Our short-term care ratings are likely most important for those requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Given its grade in this area, we were not surprised to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.
Nurse Quality
The final category we rated was nursing. This facility received a poor grade of F in that area. The nursing grade weighs a handful of subcategories, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To pair with its low total nursing hours per patient, this place had really poor scores in many of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining falls leading to serious injury. This place was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is quite alarming in light of the fact that so many falls could likely be avoided with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the nursing home's fate of earning a poor nursing score.
