Fortunately, if you aren't impressed with this facility, there are countless other options available in this city. Finally, this facility had an ownership change in the last year, so hopefully its performance improves in the coming year.

Although we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it actually received a fairly impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our more favorable scores in that area with a B+. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid places that have too many deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. Nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home an D. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility offered just 2.8 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also looked at a few quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place was above average in two of the major statistics we focus on, with good scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These metrics are usually reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care offered.

The third category we graded was long-term care. This nursing home's was given an abysmal long-term care grade where it was given an F. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After considering the amount of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 95.588234 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.

The next area we graded was short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This grade is typically a useful measure of the facility's rehabilitation. Based on its score in this category, we were not surprised to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. The final item we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 46.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics doomed this facility's short-term care score.
