Facility Inspections
While this facility'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. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also didn't perform terribly in the category of short-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a C for that area, which happens to be another one of its more favorable scores. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is generally a reliable measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Nursing ratings are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our final category, we gave this facility a grade of D in the area of long-term care. This is the facility's least impressive category rating. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category likely don't provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes offer. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. As it turns out, this facility vaccinated just 81.90184 percent of its residents, which is somewhat concerning. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
