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 calculating these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. This nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's second best category is long-term care. However, with a grade of D in this area, it still fared relatively badly. For patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinates 97.63033 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. Our nursing rating is largely associated with the facility's nurse staffing. With only 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these metrics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
Switching gears to the final category, this facility didn't fare well in this area either. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. Our short-term care grade is typically used to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. As you might expect, we learned that this place provides substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average nursing home. Finally, 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 nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
