Nurse Quality
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that category. When computing a facility's nursing grade, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are with residents as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, while this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this subcategory.
Long-term Care Quality
We were also pleasantly surprised to discover that this facility received a decent long-term care score this year. We awarded it a C in that category. Our long-term care scores are important for individuals needing personal care. One of the criteria we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for our short-term care grade. This is well below average in this category. Our short-term care scores are believed to be most important for patients needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. As you might expect, we discovered that this place offers far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
Facility Inspections
Moving on our final category of inspections, this facility received an abysmal grade. We weight this category more heavily than other categories. We would advise paying close attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection rating. We suggest you pay close attention to the level of severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home was assessed 6 deficiencies by CMS. The only positive thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility also received 24 substantiated complaints in recent years. This is yet another bad sign.
