Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was terrible, it fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection grades are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this facility a C for its long-term care score, which isn't too bad of a score. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.71098 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable figure. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, we gave this facility an F for its short-term care grade. Our short-term care scores are presumably most critical for folks needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates more skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.8 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we rated is nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is a very poor grade. Our nursing rating includes several subcategories. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This place averaged only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. In addition to being below average in nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also had poor marks in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in both of these metrics. This is a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These scores helped pull down this nursing home's nursing grade significantly.
