Facility Inspections
Although this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually performed pretty well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this nursing home's next best category was long-term care. As it turns out, with a grade of D in this area, it still fared somewhat badly. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 51.219513 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.05 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. Our nursing score is based on many components, however, the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed was short-term care, where this facility received a rock bottom score in this area also. We gave it a lowly F for this category, which is obviously very concerning. Our short-term care scores are thought to be most important for those in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Given its grade in this category, we weren't surprised to discover that this place was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the measures we looked at. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that ultimately returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 2.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
