Facility Inspections
Although this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B for that area, which is one of our better scores. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's second highest category was long-term care. However, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed relatively badly. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means the nursing home didn't perform well in our measures relating to patient care. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 93.04029 percent of its patients. This is slightly lower than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality
Our third category we graded is short-term care, where this facility received an F. Our short-term care ratings are probably most meaningful for individuals in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. With its score in this area, we weren't stunned to find that this facility is well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
Nurse Quality
The next category we looked at was nursing, in which this facility was given a rock bottom score in this area as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is obviously a major concern. Nursing grades are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. This particular facility offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is significantly below the national average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home.
