Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a C for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 5 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in categories G through L. This indicates inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent danger to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Nurse Quality
We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating and that actually turned out to be its second highest score. Our nursing grade focuses on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This particular facility averaged a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This number is far below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

In computing our short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is more often than not a reliable measure of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this place provides substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
Long-term Care Quality
Turning to our fourth area, this facility really didn't fare well here either. With a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. For patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. Once we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 96.21622 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
