Facility Inspections
Although we graded this place incredibly poorly overall, it actually received a fairly impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that category with a B+. Our inspection grades are tied to many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Incredibly, we awarded this facility a C for its long-term care rating, which is not a bad grade. Long-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's amount of care. This includes a broad range of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinates 99.5614 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. We assessed the qualifications of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses worked with residents, in determining our rating in this category. This nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The final area we looked at was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this area, which is a poor score. In computing our short-term care scores, we assess a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This score is often a fair assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. 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 ultimately returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
