Inspection scores are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities that have severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the area of short-term care, this facility received just a D in this area. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be most critical for people needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as 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. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Nurse Quality
The last category we analyzed is nursing, where this facility was given a rock bottom grade in this area also. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this area, which is obviously very concerning. Our nursing rating assesses several components, most of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This particular facility averaged a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This number is quite a bit below average. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
