Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this facility overall, we awarded it a grade of A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. While this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's next most favorable area was long-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this area. Our long-term care grade assesses a facility's assistance with daily living instead of the highly skilled therapy and medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to a relatively low 78.77358 percent of its residents, which is somewhat concerning. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. In computing our nursing ratings, we assess both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This facility offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we rated was short-term care, where this nursing home received a bottom of the barrel score in this area also. It received a lowly F in this area, which is obviously somewhat alarming. Short-term care grades are generally used to grade a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
