Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this place really excelled in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of A+. Few facilities performed better in this area. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category typically have very few severe deficiencies. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's short-term care grade turns out to be one of its higher scores. The nursing home was awarded a B- in this category. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The question is whether this also impacted quality of care. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Long-term Care Quality
As it turns out, this facility only earned a grade of D for its long-term care score, which is not a score to write home about. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. As it turns out, this facility provided the vaccine to just 89.62963 percent of its patients, which is a bit of a concern. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's least impressive area is nursing, which is the last category we scored. For this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. In determining our nursing grades, we look at both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Unfortunately, this nursing home also had abysmal marks in some of the quality-based measures to pair with its weak nursing hour totals. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers. This facility was at more than double the national average in this statistic. This is quite alarming when you consider that so many pressure ulcers are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the nursing home's fate of receiving a weak nursing grade.
