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. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Unfortunately, this ended up being one of its better grades. When computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we look at the quantity of hours nurses commit to residents as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This facility offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality
The next category we analyzed was long-term care. This nursing home's received a low-end long-term care score where it received an F. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means the nursing home didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 74.82993 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the last category, this facility really did not perform well in this area either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Given its grade in this category, we were not surprised to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the figures we looked at. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
