Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this facility overall, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second most favorable area turned out to be its long-term care grade, where it received a C. Long-term care grades assess a facility's personal care rather than the highly skilled nursing or medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 93.8326 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this facility excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Our nursing rating weighs a handful of datapoints, many of which are tied to nursing hours. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our fourth area, we awarded this facility a D in our short-term care category. This is the facility's least impressive category rating. Short-term care scores are critical for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average nursing home. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
