Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of C for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. This place was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were in categories G through L. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Nurse Quality
One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of F. There are many factors included in this grade. Most of these criteria relate to staffing levels. This place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality
The third area we graded was short-term care. This nursing home's was given an unfortunate short-term care grade where it received an F. In crafting these short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. With a grade of this caliber for this area, we weren't stunned to find this nursing home was well below average in many staffing areas we looked at. The nursing home provided significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we rated is long-term care. We gave it an F in this category, which is a very poor grade. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category may not provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes provide. One of the statistics we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. We were a bit worried that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 55.844154 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
