Short-term Care Quality
Even though we gave this facility a terrible overall score, we awarded it a B- for short-term care. In the area of short-term care, we strive to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.
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 ratings are primarily associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This facility fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. You should be more cautious when considering a nursing home with severe deficiencies on a recent inspection report. This particular facility was assessed one deficiency by government inspectors. We were relieved to find that it wasn't in a category that suggests that it created a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Long-term Care Quality
The final category we assessed was long-term care. This nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in that category. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means the nursing home didn't perform well in our measures relating to patient care. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated just 86.124405 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
