These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L.

Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this nursing home an F in the area of short-term care. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Considering its poor grade in this category, we were not shocked to find this nursing home provided far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.4 percent of its patients returning home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home's least impressive area is nursing, which is the last category we assessed. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category. In spite of several decent grades in other areas, this grade is still disappointing so we wanted to point it out. The nursing grade analyzes several data points, but the primary one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is an alarmingly low total. In addition to ranking below average in nursing hours per resident, this facility also had poor scores in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in both of these metrics. This is a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These metrics helped pull down this nursing home's nursing grade quite a bit.
