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 C. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This nursing home had 11 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This tells you that this facility avoided the more ominous categories of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home only earned a grade of D for its short-term care score, which is actually one of its more favorable category grades. In the area of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality
We were surprised to find that this facility also excelled in nursing. In fact, we gave it a grade of D for that category, which is one of our highest grades. In calculating our nursing grades, we analyze both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This place offered just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This place performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we scored is long-term care, where this facility received a bottom of the barrel score in this category as well. We gave it a lowly F for this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
