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 facility didn't receive glowing inspections in recent years. We gave it a grade of just D for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades weigh many items on the facility's recent inspection reports. If you see severe deficiencies on the reports, this is generally the worst sign. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. This particular facility had 4 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a risk to patient safety or health. Lastly, we also want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home was assessed large government fines in recent years totaling more than $100,000. This often signifies that a bad track record has been an issue for more than one year.
Long-term Care Quality
Moving on to the fourth area, this nursing home didn't fare well here either. Due to a poor grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in long-term care may not provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes offer. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 80.303024 percent of its patients. This is several points lower than what we expected. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best feature in this category.
