Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a horrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of A- for our inspections score. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Tragically, we gave this facility an F for its long-term care grade. In a long-term care environment, the primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.27007 percent of its patients, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed is short-term care, where this facility received an F. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the final category, this nursing home did not perform well in this area either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is about as terrible as it gets. Our nursing rating assesses several data points, however, the paramount one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This number is far below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
