Facility Inspections
Although we gave this place a terrible overall score, we gave it a B for our inspections category. This was due to the nursing home receiving a quality government inspection report this year. Inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Short-term Care Quality
Remarkably, we gave this facility a grade of B- for our short-term care grade, which really isn't a bad grade. In determining these short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The last item we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this facility received an F for its long-term care score. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means the nursing home did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. After we finished assessing the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. We were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated only 87.5 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
Nurse Quality
The last area we looked at was nursing. This facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in that category. Our nursing rating is based on several data points, but the most important one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This place fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
