Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. Inspection grades are tied to pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. 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
Incredibly, we gave this nursing home a C for our short-term care score, which really isn't a bad grade. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
We were stunned to find that this facility also excelled in the category of nursing. In fact, we awarded it an impressive grade of D for that category, which is one of our best grades. Our nursing score includes a variety of factors. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This facility provided only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the last category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D for the area of long-term care. This is the facility's weakest category rating. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 91.6442 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
