Facility Inspections
While we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it actually received a very impressive government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility wound up receiving a a terrible score in our long-term care category. It received an F in this category. Facilities that don't score well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility provided the vaccine to a relatively low 51.004017 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.

Our short-term care scores are important for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With a grade of this caliber in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this place was below average in many staffing metrics we assess. The nursing home provided far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

We scrutinized the levels of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the number of hours the nurses worked with patients, in computing our score in this area. This facility provided a meager 0.1 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This nursing home also had terrible marks in several of the quality-based measures to go along with its low nursing hour totals.
