Facility Inspections
While this facility's overall score was terrible, it performed pretty well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. The nursing category consists of several factors, most of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This particular place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day.

Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility's third best score was long-term care. However, with a D in this area, it still performed somewhat badly. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in long-term care it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated just 73 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to the fourth category, this facility didn't perform well in this area either. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as as uninspiring as it gets. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To offer high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. With a grade in this range for this area, we weren't stunned to discover this facility was well below average in two of the key staffing metrics we focus on. The nursing home supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
