Facility Inspections
While we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it actually received an impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best scores in that area with a grade of A-. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid places that have a long list of severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility ended up receiving a a terrible score in our short-term care category. It was given a lowly F in this category. With our short-term care rating, we try to forge a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Considering its score in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the figures we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.

After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 99.69231 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The next area we graded is nursing, in which this nursing home received a very poor grade in this category as well. We gave it an F for this area, which is definitely a major disappointment. In computing our nursing grades, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes.
