Nurse Quality
Even though this facility's overall grade wasn't a highlight, it actually received a somewhat respectable score in the area of nursing. We awarded it a B- for that category. Our nursing score is primarily associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The next most favorable category we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to provide highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The key is determining what bearing this had on the quality of care. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.

One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.48485 percent of its patients. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
Facility Inspections
The final category we looked at is inspections. This nursing home did not receive positive inspection reports in recent years. In fact, we gave it an F in this category. We would advise paying close attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection grade. We would scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. This particular facility was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that indicate that they caused a threat 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.
