Facility Inspections
While this place'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 B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. We would not recommend this facility under any circumstance.
Long-term Care Quality
Surprisingly, we gave this nursing home a grade of B- for its long-term care score, which really isn't too bad of a score. In determining our long-term care grades, we scrutinize the assistance with daily living received by a facility's residents. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 99.05363 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. When determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we weigh the number of hours nurses commit to residents as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. This particular place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This number is significantly below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
Short-term Care Quality
The final category we looked at was short-term care, in which this nursing home received a very poor grade in this area as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this area, which is obviously somewhat alarming. With our short-term care score, we endeavor to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Considering its score 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 provided to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
