Facility Inspections
Although this facility's overall grade was terrible, it actually fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with a bunch of deficiencies flagged. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating and that actually turned out to be its second highest score. Our nursing rating is largely associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This place fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility ended up receiving a bottom of the barrel grade in our long-term care area. It was given an F in this category. Nursing homes that don't fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to only 70.12987 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home 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 most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we graded is short-term care, in which this facility received a rock bottom grade in this category also. We gave it a lowly F for this category, which is obviously very concerning. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. 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 datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.3 percent of its patients returning home.
