Short-term Care Quality
While this nursing home's overall score was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in our short-term care category. We awarded it a B- for that category, which isn't bad. Unfortunately, this was not enough to spare its otherwise poor profile. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. It is still important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.
Nurse Quality
We were also surprised to find that this facility received a decent nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of B- in that category. Our nursing score is mostly tied to the facility's nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is significantly below average. Finally, although this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this metric.

Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, this nursing home received an F for its inspection rating. When a place has this bad of an inspection rating, you should expect some severe deficiencies on its inspection report. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to resident safety. This particular nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we found is that none of these deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they created a risk to resident health or safety. Finally, we want to point out that this facility received large government fines in recent years totaling more than $100,000. This often means that a nursing home's bad track record has been an issue for more than one year.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the next area, this facility didn't perform very well in this category either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category likely don't provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities provide. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 80.303024 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is several points below what we expected. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
