Facility Inspections
While this place'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 C for that category, which is one of our better scores. We would argue that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were category G through L deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received some government fines in recent years.
Nurse Quality
We were also surprised to find that this facility received a decent nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. In computing a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, while this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this statistic.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its short-term care grade, which is not a score to write home about. Short-term care scores are critical for people in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With a score in this range for this category, we were not stunned to discover this nursing home was well below average in the two key staffing figures we looked at. It provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we scored was long-term care. We gave it an F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 73.992676 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
