Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. This place was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.

Included in this nursing home's litany of rock-bottom grades was its F in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be more important for those requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Considering its grade in this area, we were not surprised to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the data we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.

The next area we graded is long-term care, where this facility was given an F. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.68454 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Switching gears to our last area, this nursing home didn't fare well in this category either. With a very poor grade of F in nursing, this is about as bad as it gets. There are quite a few data points within this area. Many of the subcategories reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. In addition to its below average nursing hour totals, this nursing home received poor marks in many of the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We found that more of this place's residents sustained falls leading to major injury.
