Short-term Care Quality
Even though this nursing home's overall grade was abysmal, it didn't perform terribly in our short-term care category. In fact, we gave it a grade of C for that category, which isn't bad. That said, this wasn't enough to save its profile. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to measure a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. In fact, it supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
Nurse Quality
This facility's second best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses spent with patients, in calculating our score in this area. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this place's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

For nursing homes that received this poor of an inspection score, we would scrutinize the severe deficiencies on its inspection report. This particular facility was hit with one category J through K deficiency, which are among the worst deficiencies. We are also concerned by the fact that this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
The final area we assessed was long-term care. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this area, which is a poor score. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means the facility did not perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated just 68.68687 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
