Long-term Care Quality
Even though we weren't complementary of this nursing home's overall grade, it earned an impressive long-term care score this year. We gave it a B in this area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than most nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
Surprisingly, this facility actually received a good score in the area of inspections as well. We gave it a grade of B for that category, which is one of our better grades. Few nursing homes that were this poor overall earned multiple category grades of this caliber. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. Unfortunately, it does not look like we were able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. Without having information regarding deficiencies for this nursing home, it was challenging to grade it in the inspections category.

In computing our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This rating is more often than not a solid measure of a facility's rehabilitation services. With a score in this range for this area, we weren't shocked to discover this nursing home was well below average in many staffing metrics we looked at. It provided significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 5 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
Nurse Quality
The final area we graded is nursing, in which this facility received a very poor score in this category also. We gave it an F in this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. Our nursing rating analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This number is significantly below the national average. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades.
