Despite all this, one of the few highlights of this nursing home's profile is its impressive inspection grade. You can continue reading to learn more about inspections and other category scores

While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we gave it an A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection scores are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Sadly, this facility only received a grade of D for its short-term care grade, which is actually one of its better category grades. Short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Given its grade in this category, we were not surprised to find that this nursing home provided substantially fewer physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.

Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. In calculating our nursing scores, we analyze both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. According to CMS records, this place averaged 4.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Roughly a quarter of those hours were provided by registered nurses, which are among the most highly trained nurses. These are both above average figures, so the problem here is not the quantity of care. Despite being above average in terms of nursing hours, this facility had abysmal scores in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. For starters, we looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at more than double the national average in this statistic. This is quite alarming when you consider that many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the nursing home's fate of receiving a very poor nursing grade.

The final category we scored is long-term care, in which this facility was given an abysmal grade in this category also. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area, which is definitely very concerning. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
