Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating and that actually turned out to be its second highest score. Nursing scores are mostly associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this place's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these datapoints to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its short-term care score. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. With its score in this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. Finally, we considered the number of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we graded was long-term care, where this facility received a poor score here as well. It received a lowly F in this area, which is obviously a major concern. When facilities receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is typically a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the facility 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. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated 88.07947 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is quite a few points less than what we expected. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
