Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall score was terrible, it actually fared pretty well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B for that category, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with a bunch of severe deficiencies flagged. This place was assessed 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
This facility's second most favorable score is short-term care, but it still earned just a D in that category. This ended up being a relatively poor grade. Our short-term care ratings are arguably more important for individuals requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. With a score of this caliber for this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this nursing home was below average in several staffing metrics we looked at. The nursing home supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality
This facility ended up receiving rock bottom score in our nursing category. It received an F in this category. When calculating a facility's nursing rating, we look at the number of hours nurses are with patients and the skill levels of those nurses. 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 looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these metrics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Long-term Care Quality
The last category we graded is long-term care, in which this facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade here as well. It received an F for this area, which is definitely very concerning. Nursing homes that do not score well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 60 percent of its patients. This is many points below average. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.05 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
