Facility Inspections
While we gave this nursing home a poor overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B+ for our inspections category. This was due to the nursing home receiving a quality government inspection report this year. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
This facility's second best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. Nursing grades are mostly associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This statistic is far below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these datapoints to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home only earned a grade of D for its long-term care grade, which is not an impressive grade. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 58.59375 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel score in this area also. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is obviously a major concern. Our short-term care grades are critical for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Considering its score in this area, we weren't surprised to discover that this place is well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
