Facility Inspections
While we gave this facility a poor overall grade, we gave it a grade of B for our inspections category. This is due to the facility receiving a decent government inspection report this year. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid nursing homes with too many severe deficiencies flagged. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. When computing a facility's nursing rating, we assess the amount of time nurses commit to residents as well as the levels of training of the nurses. 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. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This place fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality
The third category we assessed is short-term care. This nursing home's received a poor short-term care grade where it was given a lowly F. Short-term care grades are based on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. With its score in this area, we weren't surprised to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Honestly, this was what we expected here. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics was damning for this facility's short-term care score.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed is long-term care, where this nursing home was given a rock bottom score in this category also. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this area, which is obviously very concerning. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 91.02564 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
