Long-term Care Quality
Even though we graded this facility extremely poorly overall, it received a better long-term care grade this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that area, which was the closest thing to a bright spot we could find for this facility. With our long-term care assessment, we focus on the amount of care provided by a nursing home, along with a handful of qualitative metrics. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility provided the vaccine to 99.22481 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable total. The last datapoint we assessed was its hospitalization rate. Here we found that this facility had 1.93 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is not too far off the national average.
Nurse Quality
We were also surprised to find that this facility received a decent nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. Our nursing rating is largely tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 2.8 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is far below average. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality
This facility also didn't grade out terribly in the area of short-term care. In fact, we gave it a C in that area, which is among its more favorable grades. Our short-term care ratings are arguably more meaningful for patients in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, we found that this nursing home provided respectable levels of physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 37.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
Facility Inspections
In our final category of inspections, this facility received an F in this area. When a nursing home has this poor of an inspection rating, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.
