Facility Inspections
Although this nursing home'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 area, which is one of our better scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also didn't grade out poorly in the area of long-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a C in that area, which turned out to be another one of its higher scores. Our long-term care grade is often used to score a nursing home's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a skilled nursing facility. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 85.779816 percent of its patients. This is pretty significantly lower than average. Nevertheless, this facility excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. In computing our nursing scores, we assess both staffing levels and the training levels 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. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This place fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we graded is short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this category, which is a poor grade. Short-term care scores are important for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. As you might expect, we found that this facility provides significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average nursing home. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 2.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
