Facility Inspections
Although this nursing home's overall score was as bad as it gets, it actually performed well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B for that area, which is one of our better scores. Inspection grades are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility's second best category was short-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this area, it still performed somewhat badly. In determining our short-term care scores, we scrutinize the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is more often than not a solid assessment of the facility's rehabilitation. With its abysmal rating in this area, we weren't surprised to learn this facility provides far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing score considers a number of subcategories. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. With just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this place's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we analyzed is long-term care. This facility was given a very poor grade of F in this area. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means the nursing home did not perform well in our measures relating to resident care. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated just 87.5 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
