Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a C for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. Inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. To our surprise, this place had a category J through K deficiency, which are among the worst categories of deficiencies. This typically tells you the government inspectors identified a deficiency which placed patient safety or health in immediate jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Short-term Care Quality
Remarkably, we gave this facility a C for its short-term care grade, which really isn't a bad grade. In determining our short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.

This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated is long-term care. This nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this area. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 97.58064 percent of its patients, which is a very solid statistic. Surprisingly, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
