Nurse Quality
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that category. There are many factors within this grade. Many of these criteria relate to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is far below the national average. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this area. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving patients more frequently.
Short-term Care Quality
We were also stunned to find that this nursing home earned a somewhat respectable short-term care grade this year. We awarded it a B- in that category. Short-term care grades are generally employed to assess a facility's rehabilitation services. To offer highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 4.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's third highest category is long-term care. However, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed somewhat poorly. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Facility Inspections
In the final category of inspections, this nursing home had an abysmal showing. It received an F in our inspection category. We would advise paying special attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection rating. We recommend you scrutinize the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a threat to patient health or safety. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
