Nurse Quality
We were not high on this nursing home's overall scores or its category scores. We gave it just a just D for our nursing rating and that turned out to be its highest grade. Nursing scores are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This particular facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This place fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Facility Inspections
This facility earned really poor government inspection reports in recent years, causing us to give them an F in our inspection category. An F in this category is often a signal that we found some major red flags on its government inspection reports. For places with bad inspection ratings, you should scrutinize any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This particular facility was assessed 7 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a threat to resident safety or health. 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
Another issue was the F this facility was given in the area of long-term care. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care likely don't provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes offer. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We discovered that this nursing home provided the vaccine to just 83.90023 percent of its residents, which is several points lower than we expected. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
The last area we assessed was short-term care. This facility was given a rock bottom grade of F in that category. In forming our short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to devise a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical nursing home. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 3.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
