Facility Inspections
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility really outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest scores in that area with an A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be quite minor. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
We also awarded this nursing home a strong grade in long-term care. This nursing home earned a B in this area, which turns out to be one of our more impressive grades. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 93.70748 percent of its residents. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of short-term care, this facility received just a D in that area. Short-term care grades are commonly used to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to offer highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Nurse Quality
The last category we assessed was nursing. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this area, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. This is obviously a major disappointment. In computing our nursing ratings, we assess both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this place's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. This nursing home also had abysmal scores in some of the quality-based metrics to pair with its weak nursing hours. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and we were very disappointed. This facility was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this measure. This is a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores could be avoided with better nursing care. This statistic helped pull down this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
