Short-term Care Quality
Even though we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable short-term care rating this year. We gave it a C in that category, which was the closest thing to a bright spot we found for this nursing home. In calculating our short-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This area is typically a solid measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.
Facility Inspections
This facility really didn't perform horribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a C for that category. Other categories turned out to be the source of its rock bottom overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. This place had 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in categories G through L. This tells you that this facility avoided the more serious categories of deficiencies. Lastly, we would like to point out that this place was assessed government fines recently. Fortunately these fines were not on the high end as government fines go. However, this isn't what you like to find.

After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 93.25843 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
