Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was terrible, it performed 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 weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means CMS 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 the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's second highest category was long-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed relatively poorly. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means the nursing home did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 77.42947 percent of its residents. This is several points less than the national average. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Nurse Quality
In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing grade looks at the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of training of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed is short-term care, in which this nursing home was given a very poor score in this area also. It received an F in this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. Short-term care grades are typically employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. As you might expect, we learned that this place provides far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average nursing home. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
