Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a C for that category, which is one of our better scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This indicates that inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Short-term Care Quality
Additionally, we gave this nursing home an F in the area of short-term care. In calculating our short-term care scores, we look at a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is often a useful measure of the facility's rehabilitation. Considering its score in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this place is well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Honestly, this was about what we expected here. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.

Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. Our nursing rating assesses the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents.

Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

The last category we scored is long-term care. This facility was given an abysmal grade of F in that category. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 95.970695 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
