Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we gave it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of long-term care, this nursing home was given a grade of just D in this category. Unfortunately, this proved to be one of its better features. Nursing homes that don't score well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated just 80.38461 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our last category, this nursing home did not fare very well here either. With a poor grade of F in short-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. In calculating our short-term care grades, we size up a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This rating is frequently a reliable assessment of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. With its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the figures we looked at. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. The last item we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 5 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.
