Facility Inspections
Unfortunately, we gave this nursing home some extremely poor category grades. This includes an F for its inspection score. This is an especially important category. Scores in this range often point to some red flags on the nursing home's inspections. For facilities with poor inspection ratings, you should focus on any severe deficiencies found on their recent inspection reports. This particular facility was assessed 6 deficiencies by government inspectors. The only positive thing we found is that none of its deficiencies were in the categories that suggest they created a risk to patient safety or health. Finally, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received large government fines in recent years amounting to more than $100,000. This often means that a bad performance spanned several years.
Nurse Quality
In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. Nursing scores are mostly based on the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averaged a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility received an F for its long-term care score. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 62.707836 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be several points less than the national average. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
Short-term Care Quality
Turning to our last area, this facility really didn't fare very well in this area either. With a poor grade of F in short-term care, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. In our short-term care grade, we try to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the number of patients who returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
