Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall score, we gave it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. In calculating our nursing grades, we analyze both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This number is far below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home ended up receiving a bottom of the barrel score in our long-term care category. It received an F in this area. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 99.168976 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we graded was short-term care, in which this nursing home was given an abysmal grade in this area also. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is obviously very concerning. Our short-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. As you might expect, we learned that this nursing home provides substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 2.9 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below the national average.
