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 C. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but fortunately none were in categories G through L. This indicates this facility avoided the more significant classes of deficiencies. Lastly, this facility was flagged by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We prefer to avoid facilities with this designation. Please do your best to find an alternative nursing home.
Long-term Care Quality
We also want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received an F for its long-term care grade. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 99.64727 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality
Sadly, we gave this facility an F for its short-term care score. Short-term care grades are often employed to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation In order to offer highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. Considering its score in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Lastly, we looked at 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 4.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
Nurse Quality
The final category we analyzed is nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is a rock bottom grade. Our nursing grade is mostly tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Unfortunately, this facility also had abysmal marks in some of the quality-based measures to go along with its low nursing hours. We looked at the percent of patients suffering pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This facility was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
