Facility Inspections
Although this place's overall score was as bad as it gets, it performed well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our long-term care rating, which is not too bad of a score. Long-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of nursing services. This includes a broad range of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine medical services. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this nursing home vaccinated only 71.1579 percent of its residents for pneumonia. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality
We also wanted to draw your attention to this facility's poor nursing grade where it received an F. When calculating our nursing grades, we look at both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the 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. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This place fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
Moving on to the final category, this facility did not perform very well here either. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. Our short-term care ratings are vital for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage 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 3.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
