Nurse Quality
We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received a much better grade for nursing than it received overall. In fact, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. In determining a nursing home's nursing score, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are caring for patients and the level of licensure of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
Short-term Care Quality
The next highest category we gave this facility in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. With our short-term care category, we seek to create a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its long-term care score, which is not a very good score. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category likely don't provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities provide. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 93.650795 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat lower than we were hoping for but still a respectable percentage. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
Facility Inspections
Moving on our last category of inspections, this nursing home received an F here. This score was very detrimental to this facility's overall score. When a place has this poor of an inspection grade, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to the well being of residents. This particular facility was assessed 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they posed a risk to resident health or safety. Lastly, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this place received large government fines totaling more than $100,000. This typically means that a poor performance spanned more than one year.
