Short-term Care Quality
While we gave this facility a terrible overall score, we gave it a grade of B- for our short-term care rating. In determining our short-term care scores, we scrutinize a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is often a solid assessment of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below average.
Long-term Care Quality
We were also stunned to learn that this facility earned a solid long-term care rating this year. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. In the category of long-term care, we weigh the amount of care offered by a nursing home, rather than more medically-intensive services. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 93.80805 percent of its residents.

We believe that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were category G through L deficiencies. This indicates inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

This nursing home's least impressive area was nursing, which is the final category we assessed. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a D. The nursing score includes numerous factors. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This particular place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This number is far below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these metrics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
