Long-term Care Quality
Although we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it earned a better long-term care grade this year. We gave it a B- in that category, which is the closest thing to a bright spot we can find for this facility. With our long-term care category, we focus on the volume of services provided by a nursing home, as well as a handful of quality statistics. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 99.60159 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This place keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
Facility Inspections
Interestingly, this nursing home's awful overall grade can't really be attributed to its government inspection reports. We awarded it a C for our inspections category. Our inspection ratings are based on datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This tells you that inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Nurse Quality
This nursing home also didn't perform terribly in the area of nursing. In fact, we awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is another one its better scores. Our nursing score looks at the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the final area, we awarded this nursing home a D for our short-term care category. This is the facility's worst category grade. In our short-term care rating, we endeavor to create a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. With a grade this poor for this category, we weren't surprised to learn this facility was below average in two of the key staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it supplied significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics was damning for this facility's short-term care score.
