Facility Inspections
While this place'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 important factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors didn't consider 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.
Long-term Care Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this facility a grade of C for our long-term care grade, which really isn't too bad of a score. Our long-term care grade focuses on a nursing home's personal care rather than the highly skilled therapy and medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 91.401276 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be a bit less than we anticipated but still a decent figure. Nevertheless, this nursing home excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, we gave this facility an F for its short-term care score. Short-term care scores are crucial for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Based on its grade in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The last metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care score.
Nurse Quality
The last category we rated was nursing. This facility was given an abysmal grade of F in that area. There are a host of factors included in this category. Many of these data points reflect staffing levels. This nursing home averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
