Short-term Care Quality
While we didn't give this nursing home a good overall score, we actually gave it a strong grade in our short-term care rating, where it received a grade of B. Short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. It does not look like this facility submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
Nurse Quality
This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of B- for that category, which is not a bad score. Nursing ratings are mostly based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This place provided just 0 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a low total compared to most other nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Facility Inspections
This facility received mediocre inspections in recent years. We awarded them a grade of C in this area. Our inspection scores are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. This nursing home was hit with 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were category J through L deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to place patient safety or health in immediate harm or jeopardy. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed is long-term care, where this facility was given an abysmal score in this category as well. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is obviously a major concern. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care likely don't provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities offer. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. We were a bit worried that this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to only 67.37288 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
