Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid nursing homes that have too many deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's second most favorable category turned out to be its long-term care grade, where it received a grade of C. Long-term care grades are generally used to score a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 96.85864 percent of its residents. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality
In our next category, we gave this facility a rock-bottom F in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. With its poor grade in this category, we were not shocked to find this nursing home offered significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.
Nurse Quality
The next category we analyzed was nursing, where this facility received a very poor score here also. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is definitely a major disappointment. Our nursing score looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provided only 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is well below average. This place also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based metrics to go along with its low nursing hours. We looked at the percent of residents suffering pressure ulcers and we were disappointed. This place was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this area.
