Facility Inspections
Although we didn't grade this facility favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent grade in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of A. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is generally in your best interest to avoid facilities that had a long list of deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
We gave this facility just a D for our long-term care rating and that actually turned out to be its next most favorable category. Long-term care scores in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 93.28859 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be a few points less than we anticipated but still a respectable percentage. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. There are a host of subcategories within this area. Many of these criteria relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This place provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This facility performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was short-term care. This nursing home was given a poor grade of F in that category. In our short-term care grade, we strive to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. As you might expect, we found that this facility offers substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.9 percent of its residents returning home.
