Facility Inspections
While we were not very complementary of this nursing home's overall grade, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our best grades in that category with an A-. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with a bunch of severe deficiencies flagged. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few 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. In calculating our nursing ratings, we assess both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. 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. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we looked at is short-term care. This facility received an abysmal grade of F in this category. Our short-term care grade is generally used to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must have higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Given its grade in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the figures we looked at. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics sunk this nursing home's short-term care grade.
