Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was as bad as it gets, it performed well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is generally in your best interest to avoid nursing homes that have a long list of severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this nursing home's unfortunate long-term care grade where it was given a lowly F. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we assessed the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. In computing our nursing ratings, we analyze both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The last category we analyzed is short-term care. This facility received a very poor grade of F in that area. With our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to create a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. With its grade in this area, we were not surprised to discover that this place was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
