Facility Inspections
We really were not high on this nursing home's overall grade or its category grades. We gave it just a D for our inspections rating and that proved to be its best score. One of the more critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We would pay close attention to the severity of those deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that indicate they caused a risk to resident safety or health. Finally, we also need to point out that this nursing home received large government fines recently amounting to more than $100,000. This usually means that a nursing home's bad track record has been an issue for several years.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Unfortunately, this ended up being one of its better grades. Nursing grades are primarily tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This facility fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality
Unfortunately, this nursing home's next best category was long-term care. However, with a grade of D in this category, it still fared relatively badly. Facilities that don't score well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 85.62092 percent of its patients. This is significantly less than average. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we graded is short-term care. It received an abysmal F in this area, which is a poor score. In calculating these short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Based on its score in this area, we were not stunned to find that this facility was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the data we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.8 percent of its patients returning home.
