Facility Inspections
Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. 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.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility's next best category is long-term care, but it still received a grade of just D in that area. This ended up being a well below average score. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 98.58491 percent of its patients. The last statistic we assessed was the facility's hospitalization rate. We found that this place didn't perform quite as well here, with 1.91 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days.

Nurse Quality
In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing score looks at the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. 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. This nursing home also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based metrics to go along with its weak nursing hour totals. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and we were very disappointed. This nursing home was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this area. This is a bad sign in light of the fact that many bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. This metric helped pull down this facility's nursing score significantly.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we scored is short-term care. This nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this area. Our short-term care scores are likely more meaningful for patients in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. With its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to find that this facility was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the figures we looked at. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 40.6 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.
