Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's rock-bottom long-term care score where it received a lowly F. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is often a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 52.26481 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly below what we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality
Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing rating focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This place averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is well below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to our final area, this nursing home did not fare very well here either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. With our short-term care grade, we endeavor to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 3.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
