Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall score was terrible, it performed pretty well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection grades are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid facilities that have severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the category of long-term care, this facility received a grade of just D in that category. Unfortunately, this proved to be its second best grade. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the facility is not as well-staffed. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated just 66.39118 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.

Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Our nursing category assesses several subcategories, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at was short-term care. This facility received a very poor grade of F in this area. Short-term care scores are meaningful for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Based on its poor score in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility provides significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last metric we looked at in this area is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.4 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below average.
