In fact, we awarded it a grade of B for that area, which is one of our better scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid nursing homes that have too many deficiencies.

This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.8 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.

The last area we rated is long-term care. This facility was given a very poor grade of F in that area. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 52.87009 percent of its patients. This is pretty significantly below what we expected. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.
