Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score 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. Our inspection grades are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Despite this deficiency, this place still had a relatively favorable inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the area of short-term care, this facility was awarded a grade of just D in this category. As it turns out, this proved to be one of its better features. Our short-term care grades are presumably most important for people needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Considering its score in this category, we were not surprised to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the figures we looked at. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Our next category we graded is long-term care, where this facility received an F. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is typically a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 91.07143 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the fourth area, this nursing home did not fare well here either. With an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is about as terrible as it gets. In determining a nursing home's nursing score, we assess the number of hours nurses spend with patients and the level of licensure of the nurses. With just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this place's nurse staffing levels were far below average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these metrics pulled down this facility's nursing rating significantly.
