These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe.

Long-term Care Quality
One of this facility's more favorable category scores came in the area of long-term care. This ended up being its second most respectable category. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our long-term care grade is commonly used to judge a nursing home's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 92.63158 percent of its patients, which is a bit lower than we anticipated. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

The next area we looked at is short-term care, where this nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel grade here as well. It received an F for this area, which is obviously very concerning. In calculating our short-term care scores, we scrutinize a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This grade is typically a solid measure of the facility's rehabilitation. As you might expect, we learned that this place offers far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. The final metric we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.
