Facility Inspections
While this place'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. Our inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. 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
Remarkably, we awarded this facility a B- for our long-term care grade, which isn't a bad grade. In determining our long-term care ratings, we look at the assistance with daily living received by a facility's patients. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 99.849846 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
We were surprised to find that this facility also excelled in nursing. We awarded it an impressive grade of D for that category, which is one of our best grades. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses were with patients, in determining our grade in this area. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This facility fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the last area, we awarded this nursing home a D in our short-term care category. This was the nursing home's weakest category rating. Short-term care scores are important for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we learned that this nursing home provides substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average nursing home. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.6 percent of its residents returning home.
