Facility Inspections
While this facility'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. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. Unfortunately, it does not appear that we have deficiency counts for this nursing home. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
This nursing home also didn't grade out too badly in the category of long-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a B- in that category, which is another one of its more respectable scores. In the category of long-term care, we analyze the amount of care offered by a facility, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. In determining our nursing grades, we analyze both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This place fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we rated is short-term care. It received an F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. Short-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.6 percent of its patients returning home.
