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-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of short-term care, this nursing home was awarded just a D in this area. As it turns out, this ended up being one of its best areas. Our short-term care ratings are critical for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. 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 considered the percentage of patients 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 patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is an abysmal score. For prospective residents seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 99.780945 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
