Facility Inspections
While we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best scores in that area with an A-. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with too many deficiencies flagged. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors 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 are not necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home's second most respectable category was short-term care, but even there it earned a grade of just D in that area. This turns out to be a relatively poor score. Short-term care grades are often used to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. As you might expect, we learned that this facility provides far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 5.4 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality
This facility wound up receiving a a terrible grade in our long-term care area. It was given an F in this category. For patients in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 97.8308 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
Nurse Quality
The last area we rated is nursing. This nursing home was given a very poor grade of F in that area. The nursing rating is based on a variety of factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This place offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This place had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
