Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the area of short-term care, this facility was awarded just a D in that category. Sadly, this wound up being one of its better grades. Short-term care scores are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Considering its poor rating in this area, we weren't shocked to find this place provides far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Nurse Quality

With a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This place fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The last area we scored is long-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this category, which is a very poor score. Facilities that don't score well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 82.69231 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
