This facility is just about as bad as it gets. Despite all this, one of the few highlights of this nursing home's report card is its strong inspection grade.

Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we gave it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid nursing homes that had too many severe deficiencies. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility also didn't perform too badly in the area of long-term care. In fact, we gave it a C for that category, which is among its more respectable grades. Long-term care grades are often used to judge a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. After we finished assessing the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated just 78.98833 percent of its residents against pneumonia. The last datapoint we assessed was the nursing home's hospitalization rate. Although it had 2.21 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted metric was not as bad.
Short-term Care Quality
This nursing home wound up receiving a rock-bottom grade in our short-term care area. It was given a lowly F in this area. Our short-term care grade is often employed to score a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to provide high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. In this place's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical facility. The final metric we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 36.2 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to the final category, this nursing home did not perform very well in this category either. With a very poor grade of F in nursing, this is about as terrible as it gets. In determining a nursing home's nursing score, we assess the amount of time nurses are with patients and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 2.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
