Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to the category of long-term care, this facility was awarded a grade of just D in this area. Unfortunately, this proved to be one of its best areas. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 98.47162 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing score focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provided a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we scored is short-term care. This facility received a very poor grade of F in that category. Short-term care grades are important for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. With a score of this caliber in this category, we weren't shocked to learn that this place was well below average in many staffing figures we looked at. The facility supplied substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
