Facility Inspections
Although this facility's overall grade was terrible, it actually fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid places that have too many severe deficiencies. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this facility a grade of just D for our short-term care score and that actually ended up being its next most respectable category. Our short-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Based on its grade in this category, we weren't surprised to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the figures we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Long-term Care Quality
We awarded this nursing home just a D for our long-term care rating. This is not a score to write home about. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. After we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 53.345726 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
Nurse Quality
The final area we rated was nursing, in which this facility received a rock bottom grade in this category as well. It received an F for this area, which is definitely a major disappointment. When calculating a facility's nursing score, we consider the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
