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.
Short-term Care Quality
Among this nursing home's litany of rock-bottom grades was its F in the category of short-term care. Short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Considering its score in this category, we were not stunned to discover that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the figures we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Our nursing score assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This statistic is well below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area, which is a poor score. Facilities that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility provided the vaccine to a relatively low 82.08232 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
