Facility Inspections
While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home also didn't grade out too badly in the area of short-term care. In fact, we awarded it a C for that area, which happens to be another one of its more respectable scores. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Nursing grades are primarily associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home offered just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This statistic is far below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This place fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we graded was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this category, which is a very poor grade. 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. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 79.583336 percent of its residents. This is several points below what we expected. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
