Despite all this, one of the few highlights of this nursing home's profile is its strong inspection score. You can continue reading to find out about inspections and other category grades

While this nursing home's overall score was terrible, it actually performed well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection scores are based on several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Incredibly, we awarded this facility a grade of C for our long-term care grade, which isn't too bad of a score. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 96.61017 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.24 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a much better hospitalization rate than the average nursing home.

Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing rating is largely tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provided only 2.8 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This facility was above average in two of the major areas we focus on, with solid scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These datapoints are usually good measures of the quality of nursing care available.

The final category we assessed was short-term care. We gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is a rock bottom score. Our short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Given its weak grade in this category, we weren't stunned to learn this facility offered far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately returned home from this facility. This facility did not fare well here either. We found that just 47.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
